Aloe macroclada is a succulent in the family Asphodelaceae, formally described by the botanist John Gilbert Baker in 1883. It forms a dense rosette of wide, thick leaves that can grow over a meter long, medium to dark green but turning reddish under stress, with small reddish to yellow teeth along the margins. It produces tall, unbranched flower spikes of orange or yellow blooms, typically flowering between August and October, and grows slowly, not flowering until four to five years of age. The species is endemic to Madagascar and is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
