Festuca eskia is a species of grass which is native to southwestern Europe, in France and Spain.

Description
The plant is perennial and has caespitose with 22 – long culms and 1 – wide. The ligule is 3 – long and is going around the eciliate membrane. Leaf sheaths are smooth and have a hairy surface while the leaf-blades are straight but curved and are 0.7 – broad. The panicle is contracted, linear, inflorescenced and 9.5 cm long with branches being as hairy as leaf-sheaths. The same is with leaf-blades, only they are also ribbed and have a pungent apex.

It hybrizes with F. gautieri giving rise to the natural hybrid, F. xpicoeuropeana.
