Silver(I) fluoride (AgF), also known as argentous fluoride and silver monofluoride, is a compound of hydrofluoric acid.

Silver(I) fluoride finds most application in organofluorine chemistry for addition of alkenes in acetonitrile to give perfluoroalkylsilver(I) derivatives:[2] RFCF=CF2 + AgF → RFCF(CF3)Ag.
