Campanula piperi (Olympic bellflower,[1][2][3] Olympic harebell,[4] Piper's bellflower[5]) is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family, Campanulaceae. It is native to the Olympic Mountains on the Olympic Peninsula in the U.S. state of Washington.[4] It has also been noted on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.[3]

This species is a perennial herb with stems up to 10 centimeters tall. It is hairless or with fine, rough hairs. The basal leaves have toothed, widely lance-shaped blades up to 3 centimeters long. Leaves higher on the stem are similar and are alternately arranged. Flowers occur in July and August at the stem tips. Each has five toothed sepals and a saucer-shaped blue corolla with 5 lobes about 1.2 to 1.6 centimeters long.[3] White flowers are known to occur at times.[5]
