A hydroselenide (or biselenide or selanide) is an ion or chemical compound containing the [SeH] ion. The radical HSe is a pseudohalogen. Hydroselenide can be a ligand in transition metal complexes where it can be attached to a single atom, or bridge two atoms. The terms used in ligand naming are selanido, or hydrogenselenido.[1]

Similar compounds include the hydrosulfides, and hydrotellurides. Related compounds include toxic hydrogen selenide gas, hydrodiselenides (HSeSe) and the hydride selenides that do not have a bond between hydrogen and selenium.
