Nitrogen dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula NO₂. One of several nitrogen oxides, nitrogen dioxide is a reddish-brown gas. It is a paramagnetic, bent molecule with C_2v point group symmetry. Industrially, NO₂ is an intermediate in the synthesis of nitric acid, millions of tons of which are produced each year, primarily for the production of fertilizers.

Nitrogen dioxide is poisonous and can be fatal if inhaled in large quantities. The LC₅₀ (median lethal dose) for humans has been estimated to be 174 ppm for a 1-hour exposure. It is also included in the NO_x family of atmospheric pollutants.
