Lo squalene è un idrocarburo e un triterpene presente nell'olio di fegato degli squali (elasmobranchii) ma anche nei vegetali come i semi di amaranto, crusca di riso, germe di grano e nelle olive. Tutti gli organismi superiori producono squalene, inclusi gli esseri umani. Grazie alla sua natura chimica lo squalene è meno denso dell'acqua, e contribuisce pertanto a sostenere la notevole massa degli squali, contribuendo all'ottima spinta idrostatica di questa specie animale. Tramite ciclizzazione dello squalene abbiamo la formazione dello lanosterolo che è il biochimico degli steroidi e dei triterpeni. Viene generalmente utilizzato come adiuvante nei vaccini.
