In enzymology, a sulcatone reductase (EC 1.1.1.260) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

sulcatol + NAD⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ sulcatone + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sulcatol and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are sulcatone, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sulcatol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase.
