Acer opalus, commonly known as the Italian maple, is a species of maple native to the hills and mountains of southern and western Europe, from Italy to Spain and north to southern Germany, and also in northwest Africa in Morocco and Algeria. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with a trunk up to 1 m diameter. The leaves are glossy green, 7–13 centimetres (2.8–5.1 in) long and 5–16 centimetres (2.0–6.3 in) across, palmately lobed with blunt teeth. The bark is grey and pinkish and peels in square plates. It has small yellow flowers that open before the leaves appear, and a pair of winged samaras, each seed up to 1 centimetre (0.39 in) in diameter with a 1.5–2.5 centimetres (0.59–0.98 in) wing. Three subspecies have been recognized, Acer opalus subsp. obtusatum, Acer opalus subsp. hispanicus, and Acer opalus subsp. opalus.
