trans-Glutaconic acid is an organic compound with formula HO₂CCH=CHCH₂CO₂H. This dicarboxylic acid exists as a colorless solid and is related to the saturated chemical glutaric acid, HO₂CC(CH₂)₃CO₂H. Esters and salts of glutaconic acid are called glutaconates.

Glutaconate bound to coenzyme A, glutaconyl-CoA, is an intermediate in lysine metabolism.
