Zinc glycinate refers to compounds of Zn²⁺ with various amounts of glycinate anion as a ligand. A well-characterized derivative has the formula Zn(H₂NCH₂CO₂)₂·H₂O. It arises by treating zinc oxide with glycine. According to X-ray crystallography, the solid is a coordination polymer with one water of crystallization per formula unit. ^[1]

Other zinc-glycinates exist in aqueous solution including 1:1 and 1:3 species. The latter is the octahedral anion Zn(H₂NCH₂CO₂)−3. ^{[2] [3]}

Structure of zinc bis(glycinate) polymer, which occurs in solid Zn(H₂NCH₂CO₂)₂·H₂O.

The compound, which is classified as one of the transition metal amino acid complexes, is marketed as a nutritional supplement.
