Sodium bromide is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula NaBr. It occurs as a white, crystalline solid with an appearance similar to sodium chloride and has a relatively high melting point. The compound is highly soluble in water. In aqueous solution, it dissociates into sodium (Na⁺) and bromide (Br⁻) ions.
Sodium bromide is an important and readily available source of bromide ions for laboratory and chemical research. Its bromide ion can participate in nucleophilic and bromination reactions which makes NaBr a useful reagent and catalyst in organic synthesis. It can also function as an electrolyte in electrochemical oxidation studies, supporting its use in synthetic and materials chemistry research.

Sodium bromide is primarily used as a source of bromide ions in organic synthesis and other chemical reactions. It is also used in photographic processing, water treatment, electrochemical synthesis, oilfield brines and the manufacture of bromine-containing chemicals.
Sodium bromide is also referred to as bromide salt of sodium or bromo sodium. Sedoneural is a historical trade name associated with sodium bromide. Its chemical formula is NaBr.
Sodium bromide is highly soluble in water and readily separates into sodium and bromide ions when dissolved, producing a clear aqueous solution.
