The '''azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition''' is a [[1,3-dipolar cycloaddition]] between an [[azide]] and a terminal or internal [[alkyne]] to give a [[1,2,3-triazole]].

The standard 1,3-cycloaddition between an azide 1,3-dipole and an alkene as dipolarophile has largely been ignored due to lack of reactivity as a result of electron-poor olefins and elimination side reactions. Some success has been found with non-metal-catalyzed cycloadditions, such as the reactions using dipolarophiles that are electron-poor olefins<ref>{{cite journal |author1=David Amantini |author2=Francesco Fringuelli |author3=Oriana Piermatti |author4=Ferdinando Pizzo |author5=Ennio Zunino |author6=Luigi Vaccaro |name-list-style=amp | title = Synthesis of 4-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles through TBAF-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of 2-Aryl-1-nitroethenes with TMSN3 under Solvent-Free Conditions| year = 2005 | journal = [[The Journal of Organic Chemistry]] | volume = 70 | issue = 16 | pages = 6526–6529|doi = 10.1021/jo0507845|pmid=16050724 }}</ref> or alkynes.
