Gymnosporangium germinale F. Kern, (1908) Gymnosporangium clavipes is a plant pathogen, a fungus that causes cedar-quince rust.

Similar to Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae and Gymnosporangium globosum, the fungus infects a wide range of Rosaceae, such as apple, hawthorn and quince trees, and also requires an evergreen host such as eastern red cedar or a number of other juniper species to complete its life cycle.
