Plumbagin or 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone is an organic compound with the chemical formula C
₁₁H
₈O
₃. It is regarded as a toxin^[1] and it is genotoxic^[2] and mutagenic.^[3]

Plumbagin is a yellow dye,^[1] formally derived from naphthoquinone.

It is named after the plant genus Plumbago, from which it was originally isolated.^[4] It is also commonly found in the carnivorous plant genera Drosera and Nepenthes.^[5]^[6] It is also a component of the black walnut drupe.
