The integrability or non-integrability (in the sense of Liouville) of the Hamiltonian mechanical system corresponding to the Hénon-Heiles potential is known in the literature [see, for example, \textit{S. L. Ziglin}, Funct. Anal. Appl. 16, 181-189 (1983); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 16, No. 3, 30-41 (1982; Zbl 0524.58015) and Funct. Anal. Appl. 17, 6-17 (1983; Zbl 0518.58016); \textit{H. Ito}, Kodai Math. J. 8, 120-138 (1985; Zbl 0577.58016)]. The aim of this paper is the study of the (non-)integrability of a quartic generalization of the Hénon-Heiles potential by using the Ziglin theorem.
