Erigeron vernus is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name early white-top fleabane. It is native to the southeastern United States from Virginia to Louisiana.
Erigeron vernus grows in moist locations in flatwoods and savannahs, and sometimes in ditches and by roadsides. It is a biennial or perennial herb up to 50 centimeters (20 inches) tall, producing rhizomes and a woody underground caudex. The inflorescence is made up of 1–25 flower heads in flat-topped arrays. Each head contains 25–40 white ray florets surrounding numerous yellow disc florets.
