Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) is a chemical compound with a four carbon fluorocarbon chain and a sulfonic acid functional group. As an anion it functions as a stable fluorosurfactant because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds.

PFBS has served as a replacement for the persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulative perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) in 3M's Scotchgard stain repellents since June 2003.[4][5] PFBS has a much shorter half-life in people than PFOS (a little over one month vs. 5.4 years).[6] PFBS is persistent in the environment. Studies have not yet been specifically conducted to determine safety in humans.

3M markets surfactant with PFBS in two fluorosurfactants.[5]
