Triphenyltin hydride is the chemical compound with the formula (C₆H₅)₃SnH. It is a distillable reagent that is often used as a source of "H dot" to generate radicals or cleave C-O bonds. It is colorless material that melts close to room temperature.

Ph₃SnH, as it is more commonly abbreviated, is prepared by treatment of the chloride with lithium aluminium hydride. [Clive, D. L. J. "Triphenylstannane" in Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis (Ed: L. Paquette) 2004, J. Wiley & Sons, New York. DOI: 10.1002/047084289.]
