'''Norbornane''' (also known as '''bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane''') is an [[organic compound]] and a [[saturated compound|saturated]] [[hydrocarbon]] with [[chemical formula]] C₇H₁₂. It is a [[crystalline]] compound with [[melting point]] 88 [[°C]]. The carbon skeleton is a [[cyclohexane]] ring bridged by a [[methylene]] group in the 1,4- position, and is a bridged [[bicyclic]] compound. The compound can be synthesized by [[hydrogenation]] of the related compounds [[norbornene]] and [[norbornadiene]]. The norbornyl cation (C₇H₁₁⁺) is of great scientific interest in relation to [[non-classical ion]]s.

The compound got its name from [[bornane]] which has three methyl groups and is the carbon skeleton for [[camphor]] (bornanone). In bornane, there is one methyl group attached to a carbon at the base of the bridge and two methyl groups attached to the carbon at the apex of the bridge. The prefix ''nor'' refers to the stripping of the methyl groups from the original bornane.
