Disulfur dichloride (or disulphur dichloride by the British English spelling) is the inorganic compound of sulfur and chlorine with the formula S₂Cl₂.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] It is an amber oily liquid.

Sometimes, this compound is incorrectly named sulfur monochloride (or sulphur monochloride by the British English spelling), the name implied by its empirical formula SCl.

S₂Cl₂ has the structure implied by the formula Cl−S−S−Cl, wherein the dihedral angle between the Cl^a−S−S and S−S−Cl^b planes is 85.2°. This structure is referred to as gauche, and is akin to that for H₂O₂. A rare isomer of S₂Cl₂ is S=SCl₂ (thiothionyl chloride); this isomer forms transiently when S₂Cl₂ is exposed to UV-radiation (see thiosulfoxides).
