Nonacosane is a straight-chain hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C₂₉H₆₀, and the structural formula CH₃(CH₂)₂₇CH₃. It has 1,590,507,121 constitutional isomers.

Nonacosane has been reported to be a component of a pheromone of Orgyia leucostigma,^[2] and evidence suggests it plays a role in the chemical communication of several insects, including the female Anopheles stephensi mosquito.^[3]

Nonacosane occurs naturally, and has been identified within several essential oils. It can also be prepared synthetically.^[4]
