Ligroin is the petroleum fraction consisting mostly of C₇ and C₈ hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 90‒140 °C (194–284 °F). The fraction is also called heavy naphtha.^[1]^[2] Ligroin is used as a laboratory solvent. Products under the name ligroin can have boiling ranges as low as 60‒80 °C and may be called light naphtha.^[3]

The name ligroin (or ligroine or ligroïne) appeared as early as 1866.^{[note 1]}
