δ-Cadinol is an organic compound, a sesquiterpenoid alcohol produced by many plants as well as some animals and microorganisms.

It is a white crystalline solid, soluble in isopropyl ether and ethanol.

[1][2] The (+)-isomer was identified by E. Shinozaki in 1922 from the leaves of Torreya nucifera and originally named torreyol.

[2] Other names were given to δ-cadinol based on its various biological sources before the structures were confirmed, including sesquigoyol for (+)-δ-cadinol and pilgerol for (−)-δ-cadinol.

[4] δ-Cadinol is produced by the fungus Xylobolus frustulatus as long white needles when grown in malt agar medium.
