Potassium iodide is a chemical compound, medication, and dietary supplement. As a medication, it is used to treat hyperthyroidism, in radiation emergencies, and to protect the thyroid gland when certain types of radiopharmaceuticals are used. In the developing world, it is also used to treat skin sporotrichosis and phycomycosis. As a supplement, it is used in those who have a low intake of iodine in the diet. It is given by mouth.

Industrial uses
KI is used with silver nitrate to make silver iodide (AgI), an important chemical in film photography. KI is a component of some disinfectants and hair treatment chemicals. KI is also used as a fluorescence quenching agent in biomedical research, an application that takes advantage of collisional quenching of fluorescent substances by the iodide ion. However, for several fluorophores addition of KI in μM-mM concentrations results in the increase in fluorescence intensity, and iodide acts as fluorescence enhancer.

Potassium iodide is a component in the electrolyte of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) along with iodine.

Potassium iodide finds its most important applications in organic synthesis mainly in the preparation of aryl iodides in the Sandmeyer reaction, starting from arylamines. Aryl iodides are in turn used to attach aryl groups to other organics by nucleophilic substitution, with iodide ions as the leaving group.
