Abietinella abietina is a species of moss in the family Thuidiaceae.

Its extremely rare variety abietina is grown with the commoner var. hystricosa on coastal sand dunes. Abietinella abietina is a species which is perennial in terms of growing season, which means it can be found during all months of the year.[1]
