'''Codeine-''N''-oxide''' ('''genocodeine''') is an active metabolite of codeine.<ref>{{Cite journal |author1=Phillipson, J. David |author2=El-Dabbas, Samia W. |author3=Gorrod, John W. | title = In vivo and in vitro N-oxidation of morphine and codeine | journal = Biol. Oxid. Nitrogen, Proc. Int. Symp., 2nd | year = 1978 | pages = 125–30}}</ref> It is an opiate listed as a Schedule I controlled substance.<ref>{{CodeFedReg|21|1308|11}}</ref> It has a DEA ACSCN of 9053 and its annual manufacturing quota for 2013 was 602 grams.

Like morphine-''N''-oxide, it was studied as a potential pharmaceutical drug and is considerably weaker than codeine. The amine oxides of this type form as oxidation products of the parent chemical; virtually every morphine/codeine class opioid has an equivalent nitrogen derivative such as hydromorphone-''N''-oxide.
