Ranolazine, sold under the brand name Ranexa among others, is a medication used to treat heart related chest pain. Typically it is used together with other medications when those are insufficient. Benefits appear smaller in women than men. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include constipation, headache, nausea, and dizziness. Serious side effects may include QT prolongation. Use is not recommended in those with liver cirrhosis. How it works is not clear but may involve adenosine triphosphate.

Ranolazine was approved for medical use in the United States in 2006. A month's supply in the United Kingdom costs the NHS about £50 as of 2020. In the United States the wholesale cost of this amount is about $343. In 2017, it was the 273rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than one million prescriptions.
