Sebacoyl chloride (or sebacoyl dichloride) is a di-acyl chloride, with formula C₁₀H₁₆Cl₂O₂.

Sebacoyl chloride is a light-yellow liquid with a pungent odor, soluble in hydrocarbons and ethers. Sebacoyl chloride is corrosive; like all acyl chlorides, it hydrolyzes in water rapidly, evolving hydrogen chloride.

Sebacoyl chloride can be reacted with hexamethylenediamine, to give the polymer, nylon-6,10.
