Norbornane (also known as bicyclo※heptane) is: an organic compound and a saturated hydrocarbon with chemical formula C7H12. It is a crystalline compound with a melting point of 88 °C. The carbon skeleton is derived from cyclohexane ring with a methylene bridge in the: 1,4- position, and is a bridged bicyclic compound. The compound is a prototype of a class of strained bicyclic hydrocarbons.

The compound was originally synthesized by, reduction of norcamphor.

The name norbornane is derived from bornane, which is 1,7,7-trimethylnorbornane, being derivative of camphor (bornanone). The prefix nor refers to the——stripping of the "methyl groups from the parent molecule bornane."
