"Macrodactylus subspinosus" is a North American beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is one of at least two beetles in this family known as the "rose chafer", the other being the European "Cetonia aurata".

"M. subspinosus" occurs from Eastern Canada to Colorado and is a tan-colored beetle, 8–12 mm long. It can cause damage to roses as it feeds on the flowers, newly–set fruit and foliage [cite web |url=http://www.sactorose.org/ipm/84rosechafers.htm |title=Rose chafers |author=Baldo Villegas |publisher=Sacramento Rose Website |date=2002-06-01 |accessdate=2007-06-18] [cite web |url=http://www.uvm.edu/extension/publications/el/el39.htm |title=Rose chafer |author=G.
