Alpha-pinene monooxygenase ({{EC number|1.14.13.155}}) is an enzyme with systematic name (-)-alpha-pinene,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase.{{cite journal | title = Mutants of Pseudomonas fuorescence NCIMB 11671 defective in the catabolism of α-pinene | vauthors = Colocousi A, Saqib KM, Leak DJ |journal = Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. |year = 1996 |volume = 45 |pages = 822–830 |doi=10.1007/s002530050769}} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: (-)-alpha-pinene + NADH + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons alpha-pinene oxide + NAD+ + H2O

Alpha-pinene monooxygenase takes part in catabolism of alpha-pinene.
