Gadolinium diiodide is an inorganic compound, with the chemical formula of GdI₂. It is an electride, with the ionic formula of Gd³⁺(I⁻)₂e⁻,^[2] and therefore not a true gadolinium(II) compound. It is ferromagnetic at 276 K with a saturation magnetization of 7.3 B; it exhibits a large negative magnetoresistance (~70%) at 7 T near room temperature.^[3] It can be obtained by reacting gadolinium and gadolinium(III) iodide at a high temperature:^[4]

Gd + 2 GdI₃ → 3 GdI₂

It can react with hydrogen at high temperature (800 °C) to obtain gadolinium hydrogen iodide (GdI₂H_0.97^[5]).^[6]
