This list of vegetable oils includes all vegetable oils that are extracted from plants. There are three methods for removing the oil. The relevant part of the plant may be placed under pressure to "extract" the oil, giving an expressed oil. Oils may also be extracted from plants by dissolving parts of plants in water or another solvent. The solution may be separated from the plant material and concentrated, giving an extracted or leached oil. The mixture may also be separated by distilling the oil away from the plant material. Oils extracted by this latter method are called essential oils. Essential oils often have different properties and uses than pressed or leached vegetable oils. Macerated oils are made by infusing parts of plants in a base oil a process known as maceration.
Although most plants contain some oil, only the oil from certain major oil crops [1] complemented by a few dozen minor oil crops[2] is widely used and traded. These oils are one of several types of plant oils.
Vegetable oils can be classified in several ways, for example:
- By source: most, but not all vegetable oils are extracted from the fruits or seeds of plants, and the oils may be classified by grouping oils from similar plants, such as "nut oils".
- By use: oils from plants are used in cooking, for fuel, for cosmetics, for medical purposes, and for other industrial purposes.
The vegetable oils are grouped below in common classes of use.

Edible oils
- See also: Cooking oil
Major oils
Sunflowers are the source of Sunflower oil.
These oils account for a significant fraction of world-wide edible oil production. All are also used as fuel oils.
- Coconut oil, a cooking oil, high in saturated fat, particularly used in baking and cosmetics.[3]
- Corn oil, a common cooking oil with little odor or taste.[4]
- Cottonseed oil, used in manufacturing potato chips and other snack foods. Very low in trans fats.[5]
- Olive oil, used in cooking, cosmetics, soaps, and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps.[6]
- Palm oil, the most widely produced tropical oil. Also used to make biofuel.[7]
- Peanut oil (Ground nut oil), a clear oil used for dressing salads and, due to its high smoke point, especially used for frying.[8]
- Rapeseed oil, including Canola oil, one of the most widely used cooking oils.[9]
- Safflower oil, produced for export for over 50 years, first for use in paint industry, now mostly as a cooking oil.[10]

- Soybean oil, produced as a byproduct of processing soy meal.[12]
- Sunflower oil, a common cooking oil, also used to make biodiesel.[13]
Nut oils
Nut oils are generally used in cooking, for their flavor. They are also quite costly, because of the difficulty of extracting the oil.
- Almond oil, used as an edible oil, but primarily in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.[14]
- Cashew oil, somewhat comparable to olive oil. May have value for fighting dental cavities.[15]
- Hazelnut oil, mainly used for its flavor. Also used in skin care, because of its slight astringent nature.[16][17]
- Macadamia oil, strongly flavored, contains no trans-fats, and a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6.[18]
- Mongongo nut oil (or manketti oil), from the seeds of the Schinziophyton rautanenii, a tree which grows in South Africa. High in vitamin E. Also used in skin care.[19]

Oils from melon and gourd seeds
Watermelon seed oil, extracted from the seeds of Citrullus vulgaris, is used in cooking in West Africa.
Members of the cucurbitaceae include gourds, melons, pumpkins, and squashes. Seeds from these plants are noted for their oil content, but little information is available on methods of extracting the oil. In most cases, the plants are grown as food, with dietary use of the oils as a byproduct of using the seeds as food.[24]
- Bottle gourd oil, extracted from the seeds of the Lagenaria siceraria, widely grown in tropical regions throughout the world. Used medicinally and as an edible oil.[25]

Oils used for biofuel
- See also: Vegetable oil used as fuel
A number of the oils listed above are used for biofuel (biodiesel and Straight Vegetable Oil) in addition to having other uses. A number of oils are used only as biofuel.[80][81]
Although diesel engines were invented, in part, with vegetable oil in mind,[82] diesel fuel is almost exclusively petroleum-based. Rising oil prices have made biodiesel more attractive. Vegetable oils are evaluated for use as a biofuel based on:
- Suitability as a fuel, based on flash point, energy content, viscosity, combustion products and other factors
- Cost, based in part on yield, effort required to grow and harvest, and post-harvest processing cost
A flask of biodiesel
Multipurpose oils also used as biofuel
The oils listed immediately below are all (primarily) used for other purposes - all but tung oil are edible - but have been considered for use as biofuel.
- Castor oil, lower cost than many candidates. Kinematic viscosity may be an issue.[83]
- Coconut oil (copra oil), promising for local use in places that produce coconuts.[84]
- Corn oil, appealing because of the abundance of maize as a crop.
- Cottonseed oil, shown in one study not to be cost effective when compared with standard diesel.[85]
- False flax oil, from Camelina sativa, used in Europe in oil lamps until the 18th century.[52]
- Hemp oil, relatively low in emissions. High flash point. Production is problematic in some countries because of its association with marijuana.[86]

Drying oils
Drying oils are vegetable oils that dry to a hard finish at normal room temperature. Such oils are used as the basis of oil paints, and in other paint and wood finishing applications. In addition to the oils listed here, walnut, sunflower and safflower oil are also considered to be drying oils.[107]
