"tert"-Butyl acetate, or "t"-butyl acetate is a colourless flammable liquid with a camphor- or blueberry-like smell. It is used as a solvent in the production of lacquers, enamels, inks, adhesives, thinners and industrial cleaners. It has recently gained EPA VOC exempt status.

"tert"-Butyl acetate has three isomers: "n"-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, and "sec"-butyl acetate.
