Carex subfusca, variously called the rusty slender sedge, rusty sedge, or brown sedge, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cyperaceae, native to the Hawaiian Islands, the western United States, and Baja California. It is surmised that it came to Hawaii by being deposited by a bird (epizoochory).
