Berberis pumila is a species of shrub native to Oregon and northern California. It is found in open woods and rocky areas at an altitude of 300–1,200 m (980–3,940 ft) in the Coast Ranges, the northern Sierra Nevada and the southern Cascades.

Berberis pumila is evergreen, rarely more than 40 cm tall. It has compound leaves and dark blue berries.

The compound leaves place this species in the group sometimes segregated as the genus Mahonia.
