Rubidium telluride is the inorganic compound with the formula Rb2Te. It is a yellow-green powder that melts at either 775°C or 880°C (two different values have been reported). It is an obscure material of minor academic interest.[1]

Like other alkali metal chalcogenides, Rb2Te is prepared from the elements in liquid ammonia.[2]

Rubidium telluride is used in some space-based UV detectors.
