Tetrazene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H₂N−N=N−NH₂. It is a colorless explosive material. An analogue is the organosilicon derivative (tms)₂N−N=N−N(tms)₂ where tms is trimethylsilyl. Isomeric with tetrazene is ammonium azide.

Tetrazene explosive, commonly known simply as tetrazene, is used for sensitization of priming compositions.
