In enzymology, a (+)-trans-carveol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.275) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(+)-trans-carveol + NAD⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ (+)-(S)-carvone + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (+)-trans-carveol and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are (+)-(S)-carvone, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (+)-trans-carveol:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called carveol dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis and the degradation of the terpenes limonene and pinene.
