3-Pyrrolylethylamine (3-NEA or 2-(1H-pyrrol-3-yl)ethylamine) is a chemical compound of the arylalkylamine family. It can be thought of as the analogue of tryptamine (2-indolylethylamine) in which the benzene component of the indole ring has been removed, leaving only a pyrrole ring.

The compound is also related to other arylalkylamines as well as trace amines including phenethylamine (2-phenylethylamine), 2-furylethylamine, thiopropamine (1-(2-thienyl)-2-aminopropane), and isocyclamine (cyclopentanylaminopropane), among others. Many of these compounds are monoamine releasing agents and/or reuptake inhibitors.

3-NEA was first described in the scientific literature by 1965.
