Borneol is a bicyclic organic compound and a terpene derivative. The hydroxyl group in this compound is placed in an endo position. The exo diastereomer is called isoborneol. Being chiral, borneol exists as enantiomers, both of which are found in nature: d-borneol (also written (+)-borneol, dextroborneol, dexborneol) and l-borneol (or (−)-borneol, levoborneol).

Both borneol and isoborneol belong to the category of 2-bornanol, a derivative of bornane. Some sources such as PubChem and CHEBI use the term borneol to refer to the entire category of 2-bornanols while others such as KEGG use the term borneol to refer to the compounds with endo hydroxyl only.
