Cipepofol (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name, USANTooltip United States Adopted Name), also known as ciprofol or by its developmental code name HSK3486, is a general anesthetic related to propofol which is registered for clinical use in anesthesia and sedation. The drug is used by intravenous infusion. A short-acting and highly selective γ-aminobutyric acid positive allosteric modulator, ciprofol is 4 to 6 times more potent than other phenol derivatives such as propofol or fospropofol.

As of 2023, it is still an investigational drug. Manufactured by Haisco Pharmaceutical Group of Chengdu, Sichuan, China, ciprofol has undergone phase I and II trials in Australia and China. In these early studies, ciprofol appears to be comparable in efficacy to propofol and is associated with fewer adverse events.
