Toxicoscordion venenosum, with the common names death camas and meadow death camas, is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. It grows up to 70 centimetres (27+1⁄2 in) tall. Both its common names and its scientific name reference its toxic qualities.

The species is native to western North America. Because its nectar is poisonous, it is mainly pollinated by the death camas miner bee.
