Hexamine, also called methenamine (INN), is a heterocyclic organic compound that can be prepared by the reaction of formaldehyde and ammonia. It is crystalline and white in appearance. Particle size ranges from 80-800 micrometres. It is moderately soluble in water and well soluble in most organic solvents. It has a cage-like structure similar to adamantane.

It has two very different types of uses: as an antibiotic (commonly the hippurate salt, methenamine hippurate), and as a solid fuel tablet used for cooking while camping or hiking. The name methenamine is more common in its medicinal uses and hexamine is more common in commercial uses.
