Anisole is an organic compound with the formula CH₃OC₆H₅. It is a colorless liquid with a smell reminiscent of anise seed, and many of its derivatives are found in natural and artificial fragrances. The compound is mainly produced synthetically and is a precursor to other synthetic compounds.

Anisole undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction more quickly than does benzene, which in turn reacts more quickly than nitrobenzene. The methoxy group is an ortho/para-directing group, which means that electrophilic substitution preferentially occurs at these three sites. The enhanced nucleophilicity of anisole vs. benzene reflects the influence of the methoxy group, which renders the ring more electron-rich. The methoxy group strongly affects the pi cloud of the ring as a mesomeric electron donor, more so than as an inductive electron withdrawing group despite the electronegativity of the oxygen.

Anisole is a precursor to perfumes, insect pheromones, and pharmaceuticals.  Anisole is also used as a solvent in paint, coatings, and electronics.
