Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) is an organic compound with the condensed structural formula CH₃(CH₂)₃OOCC₆H₄COOH. It is a white solid that features both an butyl ester group and a carboxylic acid group. It is the major metabolite of dibutyl phthalate. Like many phthalates, MBP has attracted attention as a potential endocrine disruptor.^[3]

MBP is also the secondary metabolite of butyl benzyl phthalate, less than monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP). It hydrolyses to phthalic acid and 1-butanol.^[4]
