Aminoacetaldehyde is the organic compound with the formula OHCCH₂NH₂. Under the usual laboratory conditions, it is unstable, tending instead to undergo self-condensation.[1] Aminoacetaldehyde diethylacetal is a stable surrogate.[2]

In nature, aminoacetaldehyde is produced by oxygenation of taurine catalyzed by taurine dioxygenase, which produces the sulfite H₂NCH₂CH(OH)SO₃⁻.
