Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide used agriculturally to treat plant pathogenic fungi.

Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers this fungicide to be safe for humans, it may still pose a risk. It is listed as a possible carcinogen in the United States Environmental Protection Agency Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Carcinogen List with a rating of C (possible carcinogen). Its acute toxicity is moderate.[2] According to the World Health Organization Toxicity Classification, it is listed as III, which means slightly hazardous.

Due to the potential for endocrine disrupting effects, tebuconazole was assessed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency [3] as being potentially removed from the market by EU regulation 1107/2009.[4]
