Oscillatoria rupicola is a filamentous cyanobacterium in the family Oscillatoriaceae, forming mats and biofilms on rock surfaces in freshwater streams, waterfalls, and moist terrestrial substrates. Its cylindrical trichomes lack heterocysts and move by oscillatory gliding motility that gives the genus its name. It contributes to biofilm-based primary production in epilithic habitats.
