Lindaan of hexachloorcyclohexaan is een verbinding die vooral als insecticide werd/wordt gebruikt. Sinds 1969 is de productie wereldwijd sterk gedaald vanwege de hoge giftigheid. Lindaan is zeer toxisch voor waterorganismen, wordt langzaam afgebroken en accumuleert in de voedselketen (vooral bij vis). Lindaan is ontdekt door Teunis van der Linden, die aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam heeft gewerkt aan de chlorering van alkanen, in het bijzonder van cyclohexaan. Van de verbinding zijn 3 stereo-isomeren bekend: α-, β- en γ-lindaan.
