Trifluorosilane is the chemical compound with the formula F3HSi. At standard temperature and pressure, trifluorosilane is a colorless gas. Note that the free radical F3Si is often also referred to as trifluorosilane, although more properly referred to as trifluorosilyl.

==Preparation== Trifluorosilane has been purified and separated by low-temperature high-vacuum distillation. One preparation method involves products of the reaction between SbF3 and HSiCl3. HSiCl3 is obtained by copper catalyzed reaction between HCl and Silicon at 200-400 °C.
