Cetoleic acid is a linear very long-chain fatty acid with 22 carbon atoms and one double bond, in the position 11=12 with cis-configuration. The acid belongs to the Omega-11 group.

Cetoleic acid is a positional isomer of erucic acid. There is also an isomer with a Δ11 double bond in the trans-configuration, also present in nature, called cetoelaidic acid.
