In enzymology, a flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.82, was wrongly classified as EC 1.14.13.21 in the past) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

a flavonoid + NADPH + H + O₂ ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ a 3'-hydroxyflavonoid + NADP + H₂O

The 4 substrates of this enzyme are flavonoid, NADPH, H, and O₂, whereas its 3 products are 3'-hydroxyflavonoid, NADP, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O₂ as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O₂ with NADH or NADPH as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is flavonoid,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3'-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase, flavonoid 3-hydroxylase (erroneous), NADPH:flavonoid-3'-hydroxylase, and flavonoid 3-monooxygenase (erroneous). This enzyme participates in flavonoid biosynthesis.
