Bornyl acetate is a chemical compound.[1] Its molecular formula is C12H20O2 and its molecular weight is 196.29 g/mol. It is the acetate ester of borneol. It is used as a food additive,[2] flavouring agent, and odour agent.

It is a component of the essential oil from pine needles (from the family Pinaceae)[3][4][5] and primarily responsible for its odor.[6]
