1,4-Dimethylamylamine (1,4-DMAA), also known as 1,4-dimethylpentylamine or as 5-methylhexan-2-amine, is a stimulant drug of the alkylamine family related to methylhexanamine (1,3-DMAA; geranamine). It is naturally present in geranium plants and has also been found in certain other plants.

1,4-DMAA has been identified in dietary supplements. It produces sympathomimetic effects in animals and humans. 1,4-DMAA and other alkylamine stimulants may act as catecholamine releasing agents. Unlike octodrine and methylhexanamine, 1,4-DMAA has never been used as a pharmaceutical drug.
