Guanidine nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula CH₅N₃·HNO₃ (linear formula NH₂C(=NH)NH₂·HNO₃). It is a colorless, water-soluble salt. It is produced on a large scale and finds use as precursor for nitroguanidine, fuel in pyrotechnics and gas generators. Its correct name is guanidinium nitrate, but the colloquial term guanidine nitrate is widely used.
