Escaline is a psychedelic hallucinogenic drug and entheogen of the phenethylamine class of compounds. Escaline was first synthesized and reported in the scientific literature by David E. Nichols, but its effects in humans were first described by Alexander Shulgin. In his book PIHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved), Shulgin lists the dosage range as 40 to 60 mg, consumed orally. The duration of action was stated to be 8 - 12 hours.

Escaline is the phenethylamine analog of 3C-E and the 4-ethoxy analog of mescaline.
