Melanoplus spretus[15][13][16][17][1][2][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][3][4][5][33][6][7][8][9][10][11][14][12] är en utdöd insektsart som först beskrevs av Walsh 1866. Melanoplus spretus ingår i släktet Melanoplus och familjen gräshoppor.[34][35] Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.[34]
Individerna var med en kroppslängd på 20 till 35 mm medelstora gräshoppor.[36]
Arten förekom i Klippiga bergen och i den angränsande prärien från British Columbia till Texas. Den bildade väldigt stora svärmar. År 1874 uppskattades en svärm vara 2 900 km lång och cirka 180 km bred. Svärmens vikt antogs vara 27 miljoner ton.[36]
Som grund för artens utdöende utpekas nybyggarnas aktiviteter i dalgångarna i Montana och Wyoming där gräshoppans honor la sina ägg. Antagligen förstördes äggen genom plöjning och bevattning.[36]
Trots den stora populationen som arten hade under 1800-talet är bara ett fåtal exemplar bevarade i olika museer.[36]
