Nitrogen pentafluoride is a theoretical compound of nitrogen and fluorine with the chemical formula N F₅. It is hypothesized to exist based on the existence of the pentafluorides of the atoms below nitrogen in the periodic table, such as phosphorus pentafluoride. Theoretical models of the nitrogen pentafluoride molecule are either a trigonal bipyramidal covalently bound molecule with symmetry group D_3h, or [NF₄]⁺F⁻ (tetrafluoroammonium fluoride), which would be an ionic solid.
