'''Strontium chloride''' (SrCl<sub>2</sub>) is a [[salt (chemistry)|salt]] of [[strontium]] and [[chloride]]. It is a "typical" salt, forming [[pH|neutral]] aqueous solutions. As with all compounds of strontium, this salt emits a bright red colour in flame, and is commonly used in fireworks to that effect.{{Citation needed|date=January 2025}} Its properties are intermediate between those for [[barium chloride]], which is more toxic, and [[calcium chloride]].
