Suillus granulatus is a species of fungus in the genus Suillus. It has been commonly known as the weeping bolete, the butterball bolete, or the granulated bolete. It is a pored mushroom similar to S. luteus, but can be distinguished by its ringless stalk.

The species often grows in a symbiosis (mycorrhiza) with pine. It is native to the Northern Hemisphere and has been introduced elsewhere. It is edible.
