Nickel chromate (NiCrO₄) is a reddish brown, or rust-coloured compound. It is basic and has a high melting point. It is insoluble in water but highly soluble in Hydrochloric acid, forming a yellow solution.

This compound contains nickel in its +2 oxidation state. It is toxic due to the toxicity of the chromate and the nickel ions, though since it is insoluble the toxicity from both sources are diminished.

It may be formed in the lab by reaction a mixture of chromium(III) and nickel(II) chlorides with sodium hypochlorite:

2 NiCl₂ + 2 CrCl₃ + 10 NaOH + 3 NaClO → 2 NiCrO₄ + 10 NaCl + 5 H₂O
