An alpine meadow is a high-altitude grassland plant community located in an alpine climate, above the treeline of a mountain.
Alpine meadows, along with sub-alpine meadows, are part of the Montane grasslands and shrublands biome as defined by the World Wildlife Fund They form where sediments from the weathering of rocks has produced soils deep enough to support plant growth. An example of an inhabitant is the Woodland Caribou (Rangifer Tarandus caribou.)
