3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is a compound with the molecular formula CF₃C₆H₄NH₂. It is an aromatic amine.

3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is an intermediate in the production of the herbicide fluometuron.^[1] It is synthesized from benzotrifluoride via nitration followed by reduction to meta-H₂NC₆H₄CF₃. 3-(Trifluoromethyl)aniline is then converted to the urea, fluometuron.
