Sulfinylmethane or sulfine is an organic compound with molecular formula H2CSO. It is the simplest sulfine. Sulfines are chemical compounds with the general structure XY=SO. IUPAC considers the term 'sulfine' obsolete, preferring instead thiocarbonyl S-oxide; despite this, the use of the term sulfine still predominates in the chemical literature.

==Substituted sulfines== The parent sulfine H2CSO is very labile, whereas substituted derivatives are more conveniently isolated.
