Dicentra nevadensis (Sierra or Tulare County Bleeding-heart) is a perennial plant native to gravelly outcroppings in the Sierra Nevada peaks of Tulare and Fresno Counties, California, sometimes treated as a subspecies of Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding-heart).

Leaves are finely divided and sprout from the base of the plant.

Flowers are heart-shaped, dull white, pink, or yellow-brown, hanging in racemes on bare stems above the leaves. When dried, the flowers turn black.

Seeds are borne in a capsule one to two centimeters long.
