Mellitic anhydride, the anhydride of mellitic acid, is an organic compound with the formula C₁₂O₉.

Containing no other elements (e.g., hydrogen) besides carbon and oxygen, mellitic anhydride is an oxide of carbon (oxocarbon), and, along with CO₂, CO, and C₃O₂, is one of the only four that are reasonably stable under standard conditions. It is a white sublimable solid, apparently obtained by Justus Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler in 1830 in their study of mellite ("honey stone") and has the empirical formula C₄O₃.^[2]^[3]^[4] The substance was properly characterized in 1913 by H. Meyer and K. Steiner.^[5]^[6] It retains the aromatic character of the benzene ring.^[7]^[8]
