Weasel's Snout (Misopates orontium) is a herbaceous annual plant of the family Scrophulariaceae. It is a native of disturbed ground in Europe. It is also naturalised as a weed in other parts of the world such as North America. The pink flowers resemble a miniature Snapdragon and are followed by a hairy green fruit which is said to resemble a weasel's snout.

Also called Lesser Snapdragon or Calf's Snout.
