Camphene is a bicyclic organic compound.

As with other terpenes, it is insoluble in water, flammable, colorless, and has a pungent smell.

[5] It is produced industrially by isomerization of the more common alpha-pinene using a solid acid catalyst such as titanium dioxide.

[6] Camphene is used in the preparation of fragrances and as a food additive for flavoring.

Camphene is biosynthesized from linalyl pyrophosphate via a sequence of carbocationic intermediates.
