N-Vinylcarbazole is an organic compound used as a monomer in the production of poly(vinylcarbazole),^[3] a conductive polymer, in which conductivity is photon-dependent. The compound is used in the photoreceptors of photocopiers.^[4] Upon exposure to γ-irradiation, N-vinylcarbazole undergoes solid-state polymerisation.^[5]

It is produced by the vinylation of carbazole with acetylene in the presence of base.^[6]
