Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring. As an analogue of the notion of the dimension of a triangulated category defined by Rouquier, the notion of the dimension of a subcategory of finitely generated R-modules is introduced in this paper. When R is Cohen-Macaulay, under a mild assumption it is proved that finiteness of the dimension of the full subcategory consisting of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules which are locally free on the punctured spectrum is equivalent to saying that R is an isolated singularity. As an application, the celebrated theorem of Auslander, Huneke, Leuschke and Wiegand is not only recovered but also improved. The dimensions of stable categories of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules as triangulated categories are also investigated in the case where R is Gorenstein, and special cases of the recent results of Aihara and Takahashi, and Oppermann and Stovicek are recovered and improved. Our key technique involves a careful study of annihilators and supports of Tor, Ext and \underline{Hom} between two subcategories.
