4-Nitrobiphenyl is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₅−C₆H₄NO₂. It is one of three isomers of nitrobiphenyl and probably the most widely used. It is a precursor to the antioxidant 4-aminobiphenyl. 4-Nitrobiphenyl is readily prepared by nitration of biphenyl. ^[1] It can also be prepared by cross-coupling reactions. ^[2]

4-Nitrobiphenyl is commonly invoked as a pollutant. ^{[3] [4]}
