Gold(I) fluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula AuF. The solid has eluded isolation, but its existence has been observed by rotational spectroscopy{{cite journal | doi = 10.1021/ja9938985 | title = Confirmation of the Existence of Gold(I) Fluoride, AuF: Microwave Spectrum and Structure | year = 2000 | last1 = Evans | first1 = Corey J. | last2 = Gerry | first2 = Michael C.
