Hydroxytyrosol is an organic compound with the formula (HO)2C6H3CH2CH2OH. It is a phenylethanoid, i.e. a relative of phenethyl alcohol. Its derivatives are found in a variety of natural sources, notably olive oils and wines. Hydroxytyrosol is a colorless solid,[3][4] although samples often turn beige during storage. It is a derivative, formally speaking, of catechol.

It or its derivatives occurs in olives and in wines[5][6]
