Heneicosylic acid, or heneicosanoic acid, is the organic compound with the formula CH₃(CH₂)₁₉CO₂H. It is the straight-chain 21-carbon saturated fatty acid. It is a colorless solid.

It has shown relevance in the production of foams, paints, and related viscous materials.^[1] A laboratory preparation involves permanganate oxidation of 1-docosene (CH₃(CH₂)₁₉CH=CH₂).^[2]
