Gentian violet (crystal violet, methyl violet 10B, hexamethylpararosaniline chloride) is a bactericide and antifungal. Being the primary agent used in Gram staining, gentian violet is perhaps the most important bacterial identification test in use today. It is also used in hospitals for the treatment of severe heat burns and other injuries to the skin and gums.

In body piercing, gentian violet is commonly used to mark the location where piercings will be placed.
