Cobalt(III) fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula CoF3. Hydrates are also known. The anhydrous compound is a hygroscopic brown solid. It is used to synthesize organofluorine compounds.[1]

The related cobalt(III) chloride is also known but is extremely unstable.[2] Cobalt(III) bromide and cobalt(III) iodide have not been synthesized.
