In enzymology, an aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP⁺) ({{EC number|1.1.1.91}}) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:an aromatic alcohol + NADP⁺ $\backslash rightleftharpoons$ an aromatic aldehyde + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are aromatic alcohol and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are aromatic aldehyde, NADPH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aryl-alcohol:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include aryl alcohol dehydrogenase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, phosphate), coniferyl alcohol dehydrogenase, NADPH-linked benzaldehyde reductase, and aryl-alcohol dehydrogenase (NADP⁺).
