Triphenylmethyl hydroperoxide is the organic compound with the formula (C₆H₅)₃COOH. It is the hydroperoxide (OOH-containing) derivative of triphenylmethane. A colorless solid, it is an unusual example of a thermally robust hydroperoxide.^[1]

Triphenylmethyl hydroperoxide is prepared from by treating triphenylmethanol with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of acid:^[1]

(C₆H₅)₃COH + H₂O₂ → (C₆H₅)₃COOH + H₂O
