Phacelia viscida is a species of phacelia known by the common names sticky phacelia and tacky phacelia.
It is native to the coastal hills and mountains of central and southern California and Baja California, where it grows in local habitat types such as coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and sandy recently burned areas.
