'''Asam valerat''' adalah alkil [[asam karboksilat]] rantai lurus dengan rumus kimia CH<sub>3</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>COOH. Seperti asam karboksilat berat molekul rendah lainnya, ia memiliki bau yang tidak sedap. Hal ini ditemukan dalam valerian tanaman berbunga abadi (''Valeriana officinalis''), dari mana ia mendapatkan namanya. Penggunaan utamanya adalah dalam sintesis ester-esternya. Garam dan ester asam valerat dikenal sebagai valerat atau pentanoat.

Ester yang mudah menguap dari asam valerat cenderung memiliki bau yang menyenangkan dan digunakan dalam [[parfum]] dan kosmetik. [[Etil valerat]] dan pentil valerat digunakan sebagai aditif makanan karena rasa buahnya.<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|first1=Wilhelm|last1=Riemenschneider|title=Carboxylic Acids, Aliphatic|year=2002|doi=10.1002/14356007.a05_235}}</ref>
