In enzymology, a strombine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine + NAD + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ glycine + pyruvate + NADH + H

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine, NAD, and H₂O, whereas its 4 products are glycine, pyruvate, NADH, and H.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine:NAD+ oxidoreductase (glycine-forming). Other names in common use include strombinedehydrogenase, and N-(carboxymethyl)-D-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase.
