Uranium disulfide is an inorganic chemical compoundofuraniuminoxidation state +4 and sulfur in oxidation state -2. It is radioactive and appears in the form of black crystals.^[2]

Uranium disulfide has two allotropic forms: α-uranium disulfide, which is stable above the transition temperature (about 1350 °C) and metastable below it, and β-uranium disulfide which is stable below this temperature.^[3] The tetragonal crystal structure of α-US₂ is identical to α-USe₂.^[1]

Uranium disulfide can be synthesized by reduction of gaseous hydrogen sulfide with uranium metal powder at elevated temperatures.^[4]
