The chloride ion /ˈklɔraɪd/ is the anion (negatively charged ion) Cl− (Cl ). It is formed when the element chlorine (a halogen) gains an electron or when a compound such as hydrogen chloride is dissolved in water or other polar solvents. Chloride salts such as sodium chloride are often very soluble in water. It is an essential electrolyte located in all body fluids responsible for maintaining acid/base balance, transmitting nerve impulses and regulating fluid in and out of cells. The word chloride can also form part of the name of chemical compounds in which one or more chlorine atoms are covalently bonded. For example, methyl chloride, more commonly called chloromethane, (CH3Cl) is an organic compound with a covalent C-Cl bond. It is not a source of chloride ion.

- Chloride is a molecular form of chlorine where the chlorine ion gains an electron from a metal such as sodium or potassium. Unlike chlorine, which is highly reactive, chloride ions are stable. They are also very soluble in water and remain stable in solution. In the human body, chloride ions are critical for processing food into energy, are a part of many enzymes, and are also critical in maintaining the proper acidity of body fluids. The amount of chloride ions in the body is controlled by the kidneys.
- Chloride was a chemical. According to Owen Harper, there was a high concentration of it in the meat produced by the "Cash Cow". (TV: Meat) File:ScienceStub.png
