Magnesium phosphate is a general term for salts of magnesium and phosphate appearing in several forms and several hydrates:{{Ullmann|author1=Klaus Schrödter|author2=Gerhard Bettermann|author3=Thomas Staffel|author4=Friedrich Wahl|author5=Thomas Klein|author6=Thomas Hofmann|title=Phosphoric acid and phosphates|doi=10.1002/14356007.a19_465.pub3|year=2012}}
- Monomagnesium phosphate: {{Spaces|1}} Mg(H2PO4)2·nH2O
- Dimagnesium phosphate: {{Spaces|7}} Mg(HPO4)·nH2O
- Trimagnesium phosphate: {{Spaces|6}} Mg3(PO4)2·nH2O
Amorphous magnesium phosphate is also claimed.{{cite journal | doi = 10.1088/1748-6041/11/5/055010| pmid = 27716636| title = Evaluation of amorphous magnesium phosphate (AMP) based non-exothermic orthopedic cements| journal = Biomedical Materials| volume = 11| issue = 5| pages = 055010| year = 2016| last1 = Babaie| first1 = Elham| last2 = Lin| first2 = Boren| last3 = Goel| first3 = Vijay K| last4 = Bhaduri| first4 = Sarit B| bibcode = 2016BioMa..11e5010B| s2cid = 45055834}}
