Allium brandegeei is a plant species native to the western United States. It has been reported from western Colorado, Utah, Idaho, eastern Oregon, Park County, Montana and Elko County, Nevada.[4][5]

Allium brandegeei grows in sandy, rocky soil at elevations of 1,200–3,300 metres (3,900–10,800 ft). One plant produces 1-5 round to egg-shaped bulbs up to 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) in diameter. Flowers are bell-shaped, up 8 millimetres (0.31 in) long; tepals white with green or purple midvein.[4][6][7][8]
