The fluoronium ion is an inorganic cation with the chemical formula H
₂F⁺
. It is one of the cations found in fluoroantimonic acid.^[1] The structure of the salt with the Sb
₂F⁻
₁₁ anion, has been determined.^[2]^[3] The fluoronium ion is isoelectronic with the water molecule and the azanide ion.

The term can also refer to organyl substituted species of type H–F⁺–R, R–F⁺–R, or R₂C=F⁺. In contrast to the heavier halogens, which have long been known to form open-chain halonium ions (e.g., Me₂X⁺SbF₆^–) as well as cyclic haliranium ions, fluorine was not believed to form fluoronium ions of type R–F⁺–R until the recent characterization of a fluoronium ion locked in a designed cage structure by Lectka and coworkers.^[4]
