Also known as GaH3, [GaH3], Gallium oxide (67Ga2O3), Gallium trioxide, Gallium citrate, Digallium trioxide, Gallium sesquioxide, Gallium oxide (2:3)

Gallane, also systematically named trihydridogallium, is an inorganic compound of gallium with the chemical formula (also written as ). It is a photosensitive, colourless gas that cannot be concentrated in pure form. Gallane is both the simplest member of the gallanes, and the prototype of the monogallanes. It has no economic uses, and is only intentionally produced for academic reasons.

Gallane, also systematically named trihydridogallium, is an inorganic compound of gallium with the chemical formula (also written as ). It is a photosensitive, colourless gas that cannot be concentrated in pure form. Gallane is both the simplest member of the gallanes, and the prototype of the monogallanes. It has no economic uses, and is only intentionally produced for academic reasons.

It has been detected as a transient species in the gas phase; also at low temperature (3.5 K) following the reaction of laser ablated gallium atoms and dihydrogen, and more recently in an argon matrix doped with vapour over solid digallane, Ga2H6.
