In enzymology, a N-feruloylglycine deacylase (EC 3.5.1.71) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-feruloylglycine + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ ferulate + glycine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-feruloylglycine and H₂O, whereas its two products are ferulate and glycine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-feruloylglycine amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called N-feruloylglycine hydrolase.
