Aminomethanol is the aminoalcohol with the chemical formula of H₂NCH₂OH. With both amine and a alcohol groups on the same carbon atom, the compound is also an hemiaminal.^[1]

In aqueous solution, methanolamine exists in equilibrium with formaldehyde and ammonia.^[2] It is an intermediate en route to hexamethylenetetramine.^[3] The reaction can be conducted in gas phase and in solution.
