Anthranilate 3-monooxygenase (FAD) ({{EC number|1.14.14.8}}, anthranilate 3-hydroxylase, anthranilate hydroxylase) is an enzyme with systematic name anthranilate,FAD:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating).{{cite journal | vauthors = Liu X, Dong Y, Li X, Ren Y, Li Y, Wang W, Wang L, Feng L | title = Characterization of the anthranilate degradation pathway in Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2 | journal = Microbiology | volume = 156 | issue = Pt 2 | pages = 589–95 | date = February 2010 | pmid = 19942660 | doi = 10.1099/mic.0.031880-0 | doi-access = free }} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: anthranilate + FADH2 + O2 \rightleftharpoons 3-hydroxyanthranilate + FAD + H2O

The enzyme from the bacterium Geobacillus thermodenitrificans participates in tryptophan degradation.
