Nonadecylic acid, or nonadecanoic acid, is a 19-carbon long saturated fatty acid with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)17COOH. It forms salts called nonadecylates. Nonadecylic acid can be found in fats and vegetable oils. It is also used by insects as pheromones.[1]

n-nonadecanoic acid has found applications in the field of metal lubrication.[2]
