Promethium(III) fluoride or promethium trifluoride is a salt of promethium and fluorine with the formula PmF₃.

Promethium(III) fluoride is sparingly soluble in water. It reacts with metallic lithium to yield lithium fluoride and metallic promethium:

${\displaystyle \mathrm {PmF_{3}\ +\ 3\ Li\ \longrightarrow \ Pm\ +\ 3\ LiF} }$
