Aquilegia gracillima is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae native to the area near Ghazni in eastern Afghanistan. The plant is understood as related to Aquilegia moorcroftiana, which has a range spanning into Afghanistan.

A. gracillima has small flowers that are white with rose tinging; its specific name literally translates as "very slender" or "insignificant". The species was first described by the Flora Iranica in 1992 from a specimen collected by Karl Heinz Rechinger in 1962.
