In organic chemistry, a carbyne is a general term for any compound whose structure consists of an electrically neutral carbon atom connected by a single covalent bond and has three non-bonded electrons. The carbon atom has either one or three unpaired electrons, depending on its excitation state; making it a radical. The chemical formula can be written or (also written as ), or just CH.

The chemical formula can be written or {{chem2|R\sC^{3·} }} (also written as ), or just CH.
Carbynes can be seen as derivatives of the simplest such compound, the methylidyne radical or unsubstituted carbyne or {{chem2|H\sC^{3·} }}, in which the functional group is a hydrogen atom.
