3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is one of the three isomers of hydroxybenzaldehyde.

It has been prepared from 3-nitrobenzaldehyde in a sequence of nitro group reduction, diazotization of the amine, and hydrolysis.

3-hydroxybenzyl-alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that uses 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and NADP⁺ to produce 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde, NADPH and H⁺.

A known use of 3-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is in the synthesis of Monastrol.
