ATMP or aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) is a phosphonic acid with chemical formula N(CH2PO3H2)3. It is a colorless solid. Its conjugate bases, such as [N(CH2PO3H)3]3-, have chelating properties.
ATMP can be synthesized from the Mannich-type reaction of ammonia, formaldehyde, and phosphorous acid, in a manner similar to the Kabachnik–Fields reaction.{{cite journal|title=Synthesis of aminodiphosphonates and aminotriphosphonates|journal=Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii|volume=29|pages= 591–4|year=1959|last1=Petrov|first1=K.
