A nitrile is any organic compound which has a -C=N functional group. The -C=N functional group is called a nitrile group. In the -CN group, the carbon atom and the nitrogen atom are triple bonded together. The prefix cyano is used in chemical nomenclature to indicate the presence of a nitrile group in a molecule. A cyanide ion is a negative ion with the formula CN-. The -CN group is sometimes, less properly, referred to as a cyanide group or cyano group and compounds with them are sometimes referred to as cyanides.

Nitriles sometimes release the highly toxic CN- cyanide ion. See the article on cyanide for a discussion of biological effects and toxicity.
