Castilleja integra, with the common name wholeleaf Indian paintbrush, is an herbacous perennial plant native to the Southwestern United States.

The plant is found in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas.

Castilleja integra was first discovered in the Organ Mountains near El Paso, Texas by Charles Wright. Its first published description was in 1858 by Asa Gray.

The Zuni people used the root's bark, mixed with minerals, to dye deerskin black.
