Zirconium(IV) sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula Zr S₂. It is a violet-brown solid. It adopts a layered structure similar to that of cadmium iodide.

Like the closely related titanium disulfide, ZrS₂ is prepared by heating sulfur and zirconium metal. It can be purified by vapor transport using iodine.^[2]
