Tetrazene is a chemical compound with the molecular formula H₂NN=NNH₂. It is a colorless explosive material. An analogue is the organosilicon derivative (tms)₂NN=NN(tms)₂ where tms is trimethylsilyl.^[1] Isomeric with tetrazine is ammonium azide.

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