Thioformic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH₂OS. As the simplest thiocarboxylic acid, ^[2] it has been the subject of studies on its properties which may be extrapolated to more complex thiocarboxylic acids. ^{[3] [4] [5]}

Like other thiocarboxylic acids, thioformic acid can occur in either of two tautomers. The ratio of the two is dependent on solvent and other factors. ^{[6] [7]}

Thioformic acid has been detected in the interstellar medium near the giant molecular cloud G+0.693–0.027 and the hot core G31.41+0.31. ^{[2] [5] [8]}
