Cyperus boreobellus is a species of sedge endemic to Kenya. It is a critically endangered species known from only two locations in the former Kwale District of south east Kenya.
Cyperus boreobellus was described in 1983 by botanist Kåre Arnstein Lye, based on a holotype specimen collected by Robert Bailey Drummond and James Hatton Hemsley in 1953. The description was published in the second issue of volume three of the Nordic Journal of Botany.[2][3][4]
