Solidago multiradiata is a species of goldenrod known by the common names Rocky Mountain goldenrod, northern goldenrod, and alpine goldenrod. It is native to North America, where it can be found throughout the northern regions, including Alaska and most of Canada (all three territories plus every province except Prince Edward Island, in addition to territory north of the Arctic Circle.) Its distribution extends through the western United States as far south as Arizona, New Mexico, and California. It is known from the subalpine and alpine climates of high mountain ranges. Its habitat includes tundra and mountain meadows.
