Muscat Rose à Petits Grains () is a wine grape for white wine that is a member of the Muscat family of Vitis vinifera.

Muscat Rouge à Petits Grains is a further variation with deeper skin colour.

It originates from Greece, and is one of three varieties, together with Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains and Muscat Ottonel, allowed for Alsace wine labelled Muscat d'Alsace.
