Hexafluorobutadiene is an organofluorine compound with the formula (CF₂=CF)₂. A colorless gas, it has attracted attention as an etchant in microelectronics. It is the perfluoroanalogue of butadiene.

It can be prepared by coupling of C₂ compounds such as from chlorotrifluoroethylene or bromotrifluoroethylene. Routes from C₄ species have also been demonstrated. For example, an early synthesis involved Zn-induced dechlorination of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-1,1,2,3,4,4-hexafluorobutane.^{[citation needed]}

Hexafluorobutadiene dimerizes via a [2+2] process at 150 °C to give perfluorinated divinylcyclobutanes.^[1]
