Cyclopentylamine is an organic compound with the formula C5H9NH2. It is a colorless, readily distillable liquid. Cyclopentylamine is a member of the aminocycloalkanes, which also includes cyclopropylamine, cyclobutylamine, and cyclohexylamine.

Cyclopentylamine can be prepared by reductive amination starting with cyclopentanone or cyclopentanol. [1]
