Stannane (SnH₄) is the hydride of tin. Stannane can be prepared by the reaction of SnCl₄ and LiAlH₄.Greenwood&Earnshaw] Stannane decomposes slowly at room temperature to give metallic tin and hydrogen and ignites on contact with air.

Variants of stannane can be found as a highly toxic, gaseous, inorganic metal hydride.
