'''Wurster's blue''' is the trivial name given to the chemical ''N,N,N′,N′''-tetramethyl-''p''-phenylenediamine, also known as '''TMPD'''. It is an easily oxidised ], which loses two ]s in one-electron ] steps; the ] is a characteristic blue-violet colour, which gives the compound part of its name. The remaining part of its name comes from its discoverer, the German ] Casimir Wurster (August 7, 1854 - 29 November 1913).

The term "Wurster's blue" is often reserved for the radical cation, the colorless diamine being called tetramethylphenylenediamine (TMPD). The midpoint potential for titration of the first electron is given as 0.276 V vs NHE, and this transition is useful in potentiometric titrations as both a redox mediator and indicator. The two electron-oxidized form (di-iminium) is unstable in aqueous solutions <ref>{{cite journal
