Carene, or delta-3-carene, is a bicyclic monoterpene consisting of fused cyclohexene and cyclopropane rings. It occurs is a constituent of turpentine, with a content as high as 42% depending on the source. Carene has a sweet and pungent odor. A colorless liquid, it is not soluble in water, but miscible with fats and oils. It is chiral, occurring naturally both as the racemate and enantio-enriched forms.

Treatment with peracetic acid gives 3,4-caranediol. Pyrolysis over ferric oxide induces rearrangement, giving p-cymene. Carene is used in the perfume industry and as a chemical intermediate.
