Acridone is an organic compound based on the acridine skeleton, with a carbonyl group at the 9 position. It may be synthesized by the self-condensation of N-phenylanthranilic acid.

Acridone constitutes the scaffold of some synthetic compounds with various pharmacological activities. Most recent derivatives still in its development stage, including 3-chloro-6-(2-diethylamino-ethoxy)-10-(2-diethylamino-ethyl)-acridone, have shown some promise as a potential antimalarial drugs.

2-chloroacridone is the precursor used to make clomacran (tranquilizer).
