Plutonium tetrachloride or plutonium(IV) chloride is an inorganic compound of plutonium and chlorine with the chemical formula PuCl₄. While it is not known as a solid, gaseous PuCl₄ is known. In addition, it is known to form several stable adducts. The dimethoxyethane adduct, PuCl₄(DME)₂, has been used as a precursor to other plutonium compounds.
