2-Hexanol (or hexan-2-ol) is a six carbon alcohol in which the OH group is located on the second carbon atom. Its chemical formula is C₆H₁₄O or C₆H₁₃OH. It is an isomer of the other hexanols. 2-Hexanol has a chiral center and can be resolved into two different enantiomers.

Its toxicity is based on metabolization to Hexane-2,5-dione
