Heksogen (RDX) je eksplozivninitroamin sa širokim spektrom vojnih i industrijskih upotreba. On je razvijen kao eksploziv koji je moćniji od TNT-a i u znatnoj meri je korišten tokom Drugog svetskog rata. Heksogen je takođe poznat kao ciklonit (posebno na nemačkom govornom području), i T4. Njegovo hemijsko ime je ciklotrimetilentrinitramin (ciklotrimetilen-trinitramin, ciklotrimetilen trinitramin).
U svom čistom stanju RDX je bela kristalna materija. On se često koristi u smeši sa drugim eksplozivima i plastifikatorima. RDX je stabilan tokom skladištenja i smatra se jednim od najmoćnijih i najrazornijih eksploziva.[4]
