Bismuth tribromide is an inorganic compound of bismuth and bromine with the chemical formula BiBr₃. It may be formed by the reaction of bismuth oxide and hydrobromic acid:

Bi₂O₃ + 6 HBr ⇌ 2 BiBr₃ + 3 H₂O

Bismuth tribromide can also be produced by the direct oxidation of bismuth in bromine.

Bismuth bromide is highly water-soluble.
