Flavan-3-ols (sometimes referred to as flavanols) are a class of flavonoids that use the 2-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-3-ol skeleton. These compounds include the Catechins and the catechin gallates.

Flavanols (with an "a") are not to be confused with flavonols (with an "o"), another class of flavonoids.

Flavanols are building blocks for proanthocyanidins.
