Thiocarbonic acid is an acid with the chemical formula H2CS3 (or S=C(SH)2). It is an analog of carbonic acid H2CO3 (or O=C(OH)2), in which all oxygen atoms are replaced with sulfur atoms. It is an unstable hydrophobic red oily liquid.

It is often referred to as trithiocarbonic acid so as to differentiate it from other carbonic acids containing sulfur, such as monothiocarbonic O,O-acid S=C(OH)2, monothiocarbonic O,S-acid O=C(OH)(SH), dithiocarbonic O,S-acid S=C(OH)(SH) and dithiocarbonic S,S-acid O=C(SH)2 (see thiocarbonates).
