In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure {{chem2|R^{1}R^{2}N\sNO2}}. They consist of a nitro group () bonded to the nitrogen of an amine. The R groups can be any group, typically hydrogen (e.g., methylnitroamine ) and organyl (e.g., diethylnitroamine ). An example of inorganic nitroamine is chloronitroamine, . The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, .
