Ethyl propionate is a compound with formula C2H5(C2H5COO). It is the ethyl ester of propionic acid. It has a pineapple-like odor.[2] Some fruits like kiwis[3] and strawberries[4] naturally contain ethyl propionate in small amounts.

It is also used in the production of some antimalarial drugs including pyrimethamine.
