Troilite () is a rare iron sulfide mineral with the simple formula of FeS. It is the iron-rich endmember of the pyrrhotite group. Pyrrhotite has the formula Fe(1−x)S (x = 0 to 0.2) which is iron deficient. As troilite lacks the iron deficiency which gives pyrrhotite its characteristic magnetism, troilite is non-magnetic.

隕硫鐵是罕見的鐵硫化物與簡單的硫化鐵 (FeS)。它是富含鐵的磁黃鐵礦組。磁黃鐵礦的形式為Fe(1-x)S (x = 0 to 0.2)，這就是缺鐵。由於隕硫鐵缺乏給出磁黃鐵礦磁性的鐵質，因此隕硫鐵沒有磁性。 在地球自然的礦物中也可以找到隕硫鐵，但在隕石中，特別是來自月球和火星的隕石，更為豐富。在2013年2月15日襲擊俄羅斯的隕石標本中發現的礦物之一就是隕硫鐵。阿波羅、維京人、火衛一的太空探測器都已經證實隕硫鐵存在於這些天體上。硫的同位素在隕石和地球上礦物的相對強度是相當確定的，因此代亞布羅峽谷隕石被選為國際的硫同位素比例的標準。
