scyllo-Inositol, also called scyllitol, cocositol, or quercinitol, is a chemical compound with formula C₆H₁₂O₆, one of the nine inositols, the stereoisomers of cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol. The molecule has a ring of six carbon atoms, each bound to one hydrogen atom and one hydroxyl group (–OH); if the ring is assumed horizontal, the hydroxyls lie alternately above and below the respective hydrogens.

scyllo-Inositol is a naturally occurring carbohydrate, specifically a sugar alcohol. It occurs in small amounts in the tissues of humans and other animals, certain bacteria, and more abundantly in some plants.

Around 2000, scyllo-inositol attracted attention as a possible treatment for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's. For this use it received the codes AZD-103 and ELND005.
