para-Chlorophenylpiperazine (pCPP) is a psychoactive drug of the phenylpiperazine class.^[1] It is relatively obscure, with limited human use, and produces slightly psychedelic effects.^{[citation needed]} It has been encountered in illicit capsules as a recreational drug similarly to other piperazines like mCPP.^[1] Scientific research has demonstrated pCPP to have serotonergic effects, likely acting as a non-selective serotonin receptor agonist and/or releasing agent.^[2]^[3]

A known use has been in the synthesis of L-745,870.
