Sodium hydrogen selenite is an inorganic chemical consisting of a ratio of one hydrogen, one sodium, three oxygen, and one selenium atom.

It is the sodium salt of the conjugate base of selenous acid. This compound finds therapeutic application for providing the essential trace element selenium. Its preparation involves reacting sodium hydroxide with selenium dioxide.^[2]
