As with [[phenibut]], baclofen is a derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid ([[GABA]]), except with a chlorine-substituted phenyl group in the β-position of the molecule. It is a chiral molecule and thus has two potential configurations as (R)- and (S)-enantiomers. It has an almost identical chemical structure to [[F-phenibut]] (only replacing a fluorine with a chlorine atom in the para-position of the phenyl group).

Baclofen is a white (or sometimes off-white) mostly odorless crystalline powder, with a molecular weight of 213.66 g/mol and it is somewhat soluble in water.
