Avena insularis is a species of wild oat in the genus Avena that is native to Southern Sicilia and North-Eastern Tunisia.[1] The species is a tetraploid and is found in uncultivated patches around the Mediterranean.[2]

The species is suspected of being closely related to hexaploid oats Avena sativa and Avena byzantina.[3]
