  Acmaeodera alpina is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Barr in 1972. It occurs in the western United States and exhibits atypical behavior for the genus by being more frequently encountered on granite and bare soil than on flowers. Adults have been recorded utilizing Leptodactylon pungens as a host plant.
