Sulfanilamide is a molecule containing the sulfonamide functional group attached to an aniline.

The term "sulfanilamides" is also used to describe a family of molecules containing these functional groups. Examples include:

• Furosemide
• Sulfadiazine
• Sulfamethoxazole

Gerhard Domark, and Jacques and Therese Trefouel (1935) is generally credited with the discovery of sulfanilamide as a chemotherapeutic agent.
