Libertia micrantha, commonly known as mikoikoi and the native iris, is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. It is endemic to New Zealand; its range covers the North and South Islands. A perennial herb, L. micrantha inhabits montane forests in high rainfall areas and river banks. It was first described in 1837 by the British botanist Allan Cunningham. The specific epithet, micrantha, simply means 'tiny flower'.
