Diplacus tricolor is a species of monkeyflower known by the common name tricolor monkeyflower. It is native to Oregon and California. It grows in seasonally wet habitats such as meadows and vernal pools, including those in the San Joaquin Valley and near north coast oak woodlands. It was formerly known as Mimulus tricolor.[1][2][3][4]

The flower corolla may be up to 5 centimeters long, its narrow tubular base emerging from an uneven calyx of sepals.
