Conduritol or 1,2,3,4-cyclohexenetetrol is any of the organic compounds with chemical formula C₆H₁₀O₄, that can be seen as derivatives of cyclohexene with four hydroxyl groups (OH) replacing hydrogen atoms on the four carbon atoms not adjacent to the double bond. They are therefore cyclic polyols or cyclitols.

The compounds in this group exhibit cis–trans isomerism, with six isomers that differ by the relative positions of the hydroxyls compared to the mean plane of the ring. Of these isomers, the A and D isomers are meso compounds, while the remaining isomers can each exist as two distinct enantiomers.

Only the A and B isomers have been found in nature. The first conduritol was isolated in 1908 by K. Kübler from the bark of the vine Ruehssia cundurango subsp. cundurango (syn. Marsdenia cundurango), hence its name.
