Indole-2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.137, BX2 (gene), CYP71C4 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name indole,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

indole + NAD(P)H + H⁺ + O₂ ⇌ indolin-2-one + NAD(P)+ + H₂O

Indole-2-monooxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of protective and allelophatic benzoxazinoids in some plants.
