Zofenopril (also known as zofenoprilum [Latin]) is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor with cardioprotective properties indicated for the treatment of hypertension.

In small studies, zofenopril appeared significantly more effective than the older antihypertensives atenolol and enalapril, and was associated with fewer adverse effects.
