Silylene is a chemical compound with the formula SiR₂. It is the silicon analog of carbene. Silylene rapidly when condensed.

Silylenes are formal derivatives of silylene with its hydrogens replaced by other substituents. Most examples feature amido (NR₂) or alkyl/aryl groups.

Silylenes have been proposed as reactive intermediates. They are carbene analogs.
