去甲肾上腺素（INN名称：Norepinephrine，也称Noradrenaline，缩写NE或NA），旧称正肾上腺素，学名1-(3,4-二羟苯基)-2-氨基乙醇，是肾上腺素去掉 N-甲基后形成的物质，在化学结构上也属于儿茶酚胺。它既是一种神经递质，主要由交感节后神经元和脑内肾上腺素能神经末梢合成和分泌，是后者释放的主要递质，也是一种激素，由肾上腺髓质合成和分泌，但含量较少。循环血液中的去甲肾上腺素主要来自肾上腺髓质。

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the human brain and body as a hormone and neurotransmitter. The name "noradrenaline," derived from Latin roots meaning "at/alongside the kidneys," is more commonly used in the United Kingdom; in the United States, "norepinephrine," derived from Greek roots having that same meaning, is usually preferred. "Norepinephrine" is also the International Nonproprietary Name given to the compound. Regardless of which name is used for the substance itself, parts of the body that produce or are affected by it are referred to as noradrenergic.
