Ethyl gallate is a food additive with E number E313. It is the ethyl ester of gallic acid. Ethyl gallate is added to food as an antioxidant.

Though found naturally in a variety of plant sources including walnuts^[2] Terminalia myriocarpa^[3] or chebulic myrobolan (Terminalia chebula),^[4] ethyl gallate is produced from gallic acid and ethanol.^[5] It can be found in wine.^[6]
