Methylpropyltryptamine (MPT; N-methyl-N-propyltryptamine) is a tryptamine. It is a homolog of methylethyltryptamine.

An analytical method for its detection has been reported.[1]

In 2019, Chadeayne et al. published the crystal structure of MPT.[2] The authors describe the structure as "...a single molecule in the asymmetric unit, with an indole group that demonstrates a mean deviation from planarity of 0.015 A°."
