Ipomoea calobra, commonly known in English as Weir Vine, is an Australian native plant. It is found in northern Australia, largely Western Australia and Queensland.

The tubers of this species are edible, being an important source of food (bush tucker) for Indigenous Australians.

It is a creeper growing up to 6 m high, with purple-blue-pink trumpet flowers from January to June. It occurs on undulating plains, dunes, and hardpans in red sandy & clayey soils, and pebbly loam.
