Abstract: This article classifies closed G2-structures such that the induced metric is conformally flat. It is shown that any closed G2-structure with conformally flat metric is locally equivalent to one of three explicit examples. In particular, it follows from the classification that any closed G2-structure inducing a metric that is both conformally flat and complete must be equivalent to the flat G2-structure on $mathbb{R}^7.$
