DOM-CR, or DOM/CR, an acronym of "DOM-conformationally restrained", is a tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and cyclized phenethylamine related to the psychedelics DOM and 2C-D. It is a cyclized THIQ analogue of DOM and 2C-D.

DOM-CR shows more than 20-fold reduced affinity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor compared to DOM (Ki = 2,150 nM vs. 100 nM, respectively). In contrast to DOM, DOM-CR does not substitute for DOM in rodent drug discrimination tests, suggesting that it lacks psychedelic effects. Similarly, DOM-CR does not substitute for dextroamphetamine or MDMA, suggesting that it likewise lacks stimulant or entactogenic effects. However, DOM-CR does substitute for TDIQ (MDTHIQ), a selective α2-adrenergic receptor ligand. At high doses, DOM-CR produces behavioral disruption in drug discrimination tests. In contrast to DOM and amphetamine, DOM-CR does not produce hyperlocomotion in rodents.

DOM-CR was first described in the scientific literature by Richard Glennon and colleagues by 1996.
