Sandbar Willow, Salix exigua, is a species of willow native to most of North America, except for the southeastern regions and the far north. It is commonly used for stream and lakeshore stabilization due to its extensive root system. Sandbar Willow is well suited to deep, wet lowlands, wet meadow sites, lake shores, and other areas with a high water table.

Sandbar Willow is a small shrub, usually growing to 3 metres or less in height. It forms dense colonies connected by a shared root system, so many shrubs are often found growing together. Its long, narrow, linear leaves are distinctive, measuring approximately 10–16 cm in length.
