A citosina é unha das cinco bases nitroxenadas que forman parte dos ácidos nucleicos (ADN e ARN) e no código xenético represéntase coa letra C. As outras catro bases son a adenina, a guanina, a timina e o uracilo. A citosina no ADN sempre se emparella coa guanina. Forma os nucleósidos citidina (Cyd) e desoxicitidina (dCyd), e os nucleótidos citidilato (CMP) e desoxicitidilato (dCMP).

É un derivado pirimidínico, cun anel aromático e un grupo amino en posición 4 e un grupo cetónico en posición 2.

Os outros nomes da citosina son 2-oxi-4-aminopirimidina e 4-amino-2(1H)-pirimidinona. A súa fórmula química é C4H5N3Ou e o seu masa molecular é de 111.10 ou.

A citosina foi descuberta en 1894 cando foi illada en tecido do timo de carneiro.
