Hydroxylation is any chemical process that introduces one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) into a compound (or radical) thereby oxidising it. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases.

The hydroxyl radical, ·OH, is the neutral form of the hydroxide ion.
The Hydroxyl radical is often referred to as the "detergent" of the troposphere because it reacts with many pollutants, often acting as the first step to their removal.
