Schoenus maschalinus, commonly known as the dwarf bog-rush, is a species of sedge native to Australia, New Zealand, and Malesia. It is a small, creeping herb that resembles grass, and it often forms mats. Its stems grow between 10 and 20 centimeters in length, and its leaves are usually less than 1 millimeter wide.

The specific epithet "maschalinus" comes from Greek, and it refers to the presence of axils, literally meaning "armpits".
