Acleris maccana, the marbled dog's-tooth tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1835. It is found from Europe, east across the boreal regions to Siberia. In North America it occurs across much of the boreal forest region, south in the mountains in the east. The wingspan is 19–25 mm. Adults are on wing in late fall and again in early spring. There is one generation per year.
