2,5-Dimethoxy-4-amylamphetamine (DOAM), also known as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-pentylamphetamine, is a psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, amphetamine, and DOx families related to DOM. It is the derivative of DOM in which the methyl group at the 4 position has been replaced with an amyl (pentyl) group. The drug is taken orally.

It is a serotonin receptor agonist, including of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. The drug produces weak and mixed psychedelic-like effects in animals.

DOAM was first described in the scientific literature by Alexander Shulgin and colleagues in 1975. Subsequently, it was described in greater detail by Shulgin in his 1991 book PiHKAL (Phenethylamines I Have Known and Loved).
