Lomatium canbyi is a species of flowering plant in the carrot family known by the common name Canby's biscuitroot (luk in the Sahaptin language and qeqit in the Nez Perce language). It is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, where it grows in sagebrush-covered plateau habitat and barren flats. It is a perennial herb growing up to about 25 centimeters tall. It lacks a stem, producing erect leaves and flower clusters from ground level. The leaves are up to 15 centimeters long and divided into many highly divided leaflets. The flower cluster is topped with a dense umbel of whitish flowers.
