Geranylgeranyl diphosphate reductase (EC 1.3.1.83, geranylgeranyl reductase, CHL P) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalises the following chemical reaction

phytyl diphosphate + 3 NADP⁺ ⇌ geranylgeranyl diphosphate + 3 NADPH + 3 H⁺

This enzyme also acts on geranylgeranyl-chlorophyll a.
