红水银(Red Mercury,或称红汞)是一种虚构的物质,传闻为苏联在冷战时期研制,通过纯水银和氧化汞锑放置在核反应堆内辐照二十天,则制造出的这种呈红色的廉价但辐射度极高的物料。传说红水银每立方公分重达二十点二公克(20.2 g/cm3),密度更胜于铀(19.1 g/cm3);只需把棒球大小的份量制成肮脏弹,就已足以造成灾难性破坏。但由于至今仍无力证据证明红水银的存在,科学家对红水银到底是甚么莫衷一是。被质疑以如此高能量密度的辐射物,稳定性不足,难以制造炸弹。所有相关讨论都与苏联相关连,故部份专家认为是坏心人士散播的谣言。

This book made the claim that South Africa had made red mercury, and used it to construct a thousand miniature tactical nuclear weapons, that were now in the hands of non-governmental South African right-wing elements which intended to make use of them in the near future (of 1995).
