Potassium cyanide is a compound with the formula KCN. This colorless, highly toxic crystalline salt, similar in appearance to sugar, is highly soluble in water. Most KCN is used in gold mining, organic synthesis, and electroplating. Smaller applications include jewelry, for chemical gilding and buffing.

The moist solid emits small amounts of hydrogen cyanide due to hydrolysis, which may smell like bitter almonds. The taste of potassium cyanide has been described as acrid and bitter, with a burning sensation similar to lye.
