Yttrium(III) antimonide (YSb) is an inorganic chemical compound.

Yttrium antimonide is an intermetallic compound with the chemical formula YSb. It has a NaCl-type structure and is stable in the air.^[2] Its thermal expansion coefficient (α, 10−6/°) is 11.1.^[3]

It can be produced by the high-temperature reaction of sodium antimonide and anhydrous yttrium chloride:^[4]

YCl₃ + Na₃Sb → YSb + 3 NaCl
