Silver diethyldithiocarbamate is a chemical compound, with formula AgS₂CN(CH₂CH₃)₂. It is the silver salt of diethyldithiocarbamic acid; the latter is a well-known chelator of heavy metals. In most of its applications, silver diethyldithiocarbamate resembles the cheaper sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, but it is uniquely insoluble in water. That property makes it a useful analytical reagent for determining arsenic concentrations.
