Methoxyethane, also known as ethyl methyl ether, is a colorless gaseous ether with the formula CH₃OCH₂CH₃. Unlike the related dimethyl ether and diethyl ether, which are widely used and studied, this mixed alkyl ether has no current applications. It is a structural isomer of isopropyl alcohol. Its utility as an anesthetic and solvent have been investigated.
