Thiocyanogen, (SCN)₂, is a pseudohalogen derived from the pseudohalide thiocyanate, [SCN]⁻, with behavior intermediate between dibromine and diiodine. This hexatomic compound exhibits C₂ point group symmetry and has the connectivity NCS-SCN.

In the lungs, lactoperoxidase may oxidize thiocyanate to thiocyanogen or hypothiocyanite.
