'''Substituted tryptamines''' (or simply '''tryptamines''') are a group of organic compounds that are based upon the [[tryptamine]] core structure. The class is composed of all the derivative compounds which can be formed by substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in the tryptamine core structure with other substituents.

Natural tryptamines are found in most plants and animals, forming from the decarboxylation of the amino acid tryptophan.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tryptamines|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200110234704/https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tryptamines|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|publisher=ScienceDirect}}</ref>
