Sclareol is a fragrant chemical compound found in Salvia sclarea, from which it derives its name. It is classified as a bicyclic diterpene alcohol having roles in plant growth, development, defense, and attraction of pollinators.

It is an amber-colored solid with a sweet, herbaceous, balsamic scent used as a fragrance in perfume manufacturing, and as a flavoring agent. Sclareol is the most common starting material for manufacturing ambroxide (tradenames, Ambrox or Ambroxan), which is used as a fixative in commercial perfumes.

Sclareol is also extracted from the flowers of Cistus creticus, Nicotiana glutinosa, and Cleome spinosa.
