Linalyl acetate is an organic compound, the acetate ester of linalool and a phytochemical found in many flowers and spice plants. It is one of the principal components of the essential oils of bergamot and lavender. It often occurs together with linalool and is a widely used fragrance.{{cite book |doi=10.1002/0471238961.2005181602120504.a01.pub2|chapter=Terpenoids |title=Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology |year=2006 |last1=Sell |first1=Charles S. |isbn=0471238961 }}

The chemical tastes similar to how it smells with a pleasant fruity odor reminiscent of bergamot mint oil. It is found in Eau de Cologne mint and is mildly toxic to humans, toxic to fish, and extremely toxic to daphnia. Linalyl acetate is also combustible.
