Neodymium(III) bromide is an inorganic salt of bromine and neodymium the formula NdBr₃. The anhydrous compound is an off-white to pale green solid at room temperature, with an orthorhombic PuBr₃-type crystal structure. The material is hygroscopic and forms a hexahydrate in water (NdBr₃· 6H₂O), similar to the related neodymium(III) chloride.
