Drosera macrophylla, the showy sundew,{{FloraBase|id=3107|name=Drosera macrophylla}} is a perennial tuberous species in the genus Drosera that is endemic to Western Australia. It grows in a rosette with leaves {{convert|4|cm|0|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|2|cm|0|abbr=on}} wide. It is a common species east of Perth. It grows in loam soils. It flowers from June to October. D. macrophylla was first described by John Lindley in his 1839 publication A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony. In 1992, Allen Lowrie and Sherwin Carlquist described a new subspecies, D. macrophylla subsp. monantha, which is distinguished from D. macrophylla subsp. macrophylla by its single-flowered or rarely biflowered inflorescences. Subspecies monantha is abundant in the Bruce Rock/Merredin region.Lowrie, A. and S. Carlquist. 1992. Eight new taxa of Drosera from Australia. Phytologia, 73(2): 98-116. The specific epithet macrophylla originates from Greek words makros (large) and phyllon (leaf) meaning 'large-leaved'.
