Rubus eriocarpus is a Mesoamerican species of brambles in the rose family.
The species is a prickly, hairless shrub. The leaves are palmately compound with 3 or 5 leaflets, the undersides appearing whitish because of a coating of wax. The flowers are white and the fruits are cylindrical or spherical.
It grows in Central America and in central and southern Mexico, from Panama to Puebla.
