Magnesium hydride is the chemical compound with the molecular formula MgH₂. It contains 7.66% by weight of hydrogen and has been studied as a potential hydrogen storage medium.

For comparison, one cubic meter can contain 45 kg of hydrogen pressurized at 700 atm, 70 kg of liquid hydrogen, or up to 106 kg of hydrogen bound in magnesium hydride.

Magnesium hydride is also investigated for use in thermobaric weapons and incendiary weapons,
