Titanium(II) iodide is the inorganic compound with the formula TiI2. It is a black micaceous solid. It adopts the cadmium iodide structure, featuring octahedral Ti(II) centers. It arises via the reaction of the elements:{{cite journal |doi=10.1002/zaac.19422490204|title=Zur Kenntnis der Dihalogenide des Titans und Vanadins|year=1942|last1=Klemm|first1=Wilhelm|last2=Grimm|first2=Ludwig|journal=Zeitschrift für Anorganische und Allgemeine Chemie|volume=249|issue=2|pages=198–208}}

:Ti + I2 → TiI2

As such, it is an implied intermediate in the van Arkel–de Boer process for the purification of titanium metal.
