4-HO-MET, or 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-ethyltryptamine is a synthetic indole alkaloid molecule of the [[tryptamine]] class. Tryptamines share a core structure comprised of a bicylic indole heterocycle attached at R<sub>3</sub> to an amino group via an ethyl side chain. 4-HO-MET is substituted at R<sub>4</sub> of its indole heterocycle with a hydroxyl functional group OH−; it also contains a methyl group and an ethyl chain bound to the terminal amine R<sub>N</sub> of its tryptamine backbone (MET). 4-HO-MET is a 4-hydroxy analogue of [[4-AcO-MET]] and the N-substituted ethyl homologue of [[4-HO-DMT]].
