Sword grass may mean:

Some species of grasses with blades that are sharp enough to cut human skin. This is because they contain many silica phytoliths, a hardening material in many plants. The sharp blades help to discourage herbivores from grazing (also protecting the grasses around it), including:
- Gahnia species
- Poa ensiformis
Species of moth:
- Sword-grass Xylena exsoleta
- Red Sword-grass Xylena vetusta
- Ssword-grass brown Tisiphone abeona
- Northern sword-grass brown Tisiphone helena
