Tris(trifluoropropyl)trimethylcyclotrisiloxane (D₃F) is a chemical substance. It is a derivative of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D₃), but also belongs to the class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).

It occurs in two diastereomeric forms:^[2]

cis-D₃F
trans-D₃F

D₃F is used to produce polymethyltrifluoropropylsiloxane (PMTFPS). The starting material is dichloromethyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane. Tetrakis(trifluoropropyl)tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D₄F) is produced as a reaction by-product.^[3]

It has been detected in wastewater,^[4] sewage sludge^[5] as well as in biosolid-amended soils.^[6]
