Valienamine is an unsaturated amino sugar with the formula HOCH2(CHOH)3CHNH2)CH. It is classified also as a C-7 aminocyclitol. It is a potent inhibitor of glycosidase. It was first isolated by microbial degradation of validoxylamine.

It found as a substructure of pseudooligosaccharides such as the antidiabetic drug acarbose and the antibiotic validamycin. It can be found in Actinoplanes species.

It is an intermediate formed by microbial degradation of validamycins.
