Difluoroethanol (DFE), 2,2-Difluoroethyl alcohol, β,β-Difluoroethyl alcohol, 2,2-Difluoro-ethanol, 2,2-difluoroethan-1-ol, 'Ethanol, 2,2-difluoro-',  is the organic compound with the formula CHF₂CH₂OH. This colourless, water-miscible liquid has a smell reminiscent of ethanol. Due to the electronegativity of the difluoromethyl group, this alcohol exhibits a stronger acidic character compared to ethanol. Thus, DFE forms stable complexes also with heterocycles (e.g. THF or pyridine) through hydrogen bonding.

2,2-Difluoroethanol is an important intermediate in the synthesis of active agrochemical and pharmaceutical ingredients.
