Thapsic acid (hexadecanedioic acid) is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with the formula C₁₆H₃₀O₄. The name is derived from Thapsia, the Latin name for a Mediterranean perennial whose roots contain thapsic acid.^{[citation needed]}

It has a role as a human metabolite.^[1] It is the conjugate acid of hexadecanedioate.
