Acetamiprid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₁ClN₄. It is an odorless neonicotinoid insecticide produced under the trade names Assail, and Chipco by Aventis CropSciences. It is systemic and intended to control sucking insects (Thysanoptera, Hemiptera, mainly aphids) on crops such as leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, pome fruits, grapes, cotton, cole crops, and ornamental plants. It is also a key pesticide in commercial cherry farming due to its effectiveness against the larvae of the cherry fruit fly.

Acetamiprid belongs to the family of chloropyridinyl neonicotinoid insecticides introduced in the early 1990s. It is also used for controlling domestic pests (such as fleas on cats and dogs).
