'''Cembrene''', or sometimes neocembrene, is a natural monocyclic [[terpene|diterpene]]. It is a colorless oil with a faint wax-like odor.
Cembrene itself has little importance as chemical entity, being a trail [[pheromone]] for termites; however, the chemical structure of cembrene is central to a very wide variety of other natural products found both in plants and in animals.
