Pipecolic acidemia (also called Hyperpipecolic acidemia or Hyperpipecolatemia) is a very rare metabolic disorder that is caused by a peroxisomal defect.

It is characterized by an increase in pipecolic acid levels in the blood, leading to neuropathy and hepatomegaly.

It can be associated with Refsum disease.cite journal |author=Tranchant C, Aubourg P, Mohr M, Rocchiccioli F, Zaenker C, Warter JM |title=A new peroxisomal disease with impaired phytanic and pipecolic acid oxidation |journal=Neurology |volume=43 |issue=10 |pages=2044–8 |year=1993 |month=October |pmid=8413964 ]
