Nitramide or nitramine is a chemical compound with the molecular formulaH2N−NO2. It is an isomer of hyponitrous acid. Nitramide can be viewed as a nitrogen analog of nitric acid (HO−NO2), in which the hydroxyl group−OH is replaced with the amino group−NH2.

Substituted derivatives RRN−NO2 are termed nitramides or nitroamines as well and see wide use as explosives: examples include RDX and HMX.
