Disulfur dibromide is the inorganic compound with the formula S₂Br₂. It is a yellow-brown liquid that fumes in air. It is prepared by direct combination of the elements and purified by vacuum distillation.^[1] The compound has no particular application, unlike the related sulfur compound disulfur dichloride.

The molecular structure is Br−S−S−Br, akin to that of disulfur dichloride (S₂Cl₂). According to electron diffraction measurements, the angle between the Br^a−S−S and S−S−Br^b planes is 84° and the Br−S−S angle is 107°. The S−S distance is 198.0 pm, circa 5.0 pm shorter than for S₂Cl₂.^[2]
