Acetophenone carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.8) is an enzyme with systematic name acetophenone:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2 ATP + acetophenone + HCO₃⁻ + H₂O + H⁺ ⇌ 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate

The enzyme is involved in anaerobic degradation of ethylbenzene.
