Rumex acetosella, also known as sheep sorrel, is a perennial herb, sometimes used as a salad green, and in herbal medicine. Depending on the specific cultivar, the leaves may contain enough oxalic acid to be toxic when eaten in large quantities.

It is an ingredient in an herbal cancer treatment, Essiac.
