8-Hydroxygeraniol (also incorrectly called 10-hydroxygeraniol)^[1] is a monoterpene synthesized from geraniol by the enzyme geraniol 8-hydroxylase. 8-Hydroxygeraniol is a substrate for 8-hydroxygeraniol dehydrogenase (G80) which synthesizes 8-oxogeranial.^[2] 8-Hydroxygeraniol is step in the synthesis of the secologanin, a key monoterpene needed for formation of terpene indole alkaloids.

In the laboratory, 8-hydroxygeraniol can be prepared from geranyl acetate.^[3]
