4-HO-DALT, also known as 4-hydroxy-N,N-diallyltryptamine or as dalocin, is a serotonin receptor agonist and serotonergic psychedelic of the tryptamine and 4-hydroxytryptamine families.

It binds to many of the serotonin receptors, including the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, as well as other targets. The drug acts as a potent full agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors, whereas it showed 60-fold lower potency as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor compared to the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. It produces the head-twitch response, a behavioral proxy of psychedelic-like effects, in rodents.

4-HO-DALT was first described in the literature by Alexander Shulgin in TiHKAL in 1997. Subsequently, it was further described in 2017 and thereafter.
