Astragalus miser, the timber milkvetch, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. A perennial, it is native to western North America, except California. One of the locoweeds toxic to livestock, it contains miserotoxin.

The Sylix/Okanagan use timber milkvetch blooming as a sign that the edible cambium and inner bark of the lodgepole pine is ready to harvest.
