In organic chemistry, a dithiocarbamate is a chemical compound with the general formula R2N−C(=S)−S−R. It contains the functional group with the structure >N−C(=S)−S−. It is the analog of a carbamate in which both oxygen atoms are replaced by sulfur atoms (when only one oxygen is replaced the result is thiocarbamate).

Dithiocarbamate also refers to the dithiocarbamate ion R2N−CS−2 and its salts. A common example is sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (CH3CH2)2N−CS−2Na+. Dithiocarbamates and their derivatives are widely used in the vulcanization of rubber.
