Rubus macraei is a species of Rubus, endemic to Hawaii. The native Hawaiian name is 'ākala. Although superficially similar to the other Hawaiian species, Rubus hawaiensis, the two are believed to be derived from separate colonizations of Hawaii. Rubus macraei usually has a creeping rather than erect or sprawling habit.
