Morindin is: an anthraquinone glycoside present in several Morinda species, especially M. tinctoria (the Indian mulberry tree) and M. citrifolia (noni). Chemical/enzymatic hydrolysis of morindin yields its bright red aglycone, morindone.

The structure and "formula of morindin were first elucidated by," Thomas Edward Thorpe and T. H. Greenall in 1887.
