Neodymium arsenate, also known as neodymium(III) arsenate, is the arsenate of neodymium with the chemical formula of NdAsO4. In this compound, neodymium exhibits the +3 oxidation state. It has good thermal stability, and its pKsp,c is 21.86±0.11.{{cite journal|author1=Firsching, F.

Preparation
Neodymium arsenate can be obtained from the reaction between sodium arsenate (Na3AsO4) and neodymium chloride (NdCl3) in solution:Gabisoniya, Ts. D.; Nanobashvili, E. M.. Synthesis of rare earth metal arsenates. Soobshcheniya Akademii Nauk Gruzinskoi SSR (1980), 97(2), 345-8. {{ISSN|0002-3167}}
: Na3AsO4 + NdCl3 → 3 NaCl + NdAsO4↓
When crystallizing from a lead pyroarsenate flux, neodymium arsenate crystals produced explode when cooled.{{cite journal |last1=Feigelson |first1=Robert S. |title=Crystal Growth of Rare-Earth Orthoarsenates |journal=Journal of the American Ceramic Society |date=August 1967 |volume=50 |issue=8 |pages=433–434 |doi=10.1111/j.1151-2916.1967.tb15150.x}}
Neodymium arsenate also occurs in nature as a mineral, Arsenoflorencite-(Nd).{{cite journal |journal=American Mineralogist |date=2000 |volume=85 |pages=1321–1325|title=New Mineral Names}}{{cite web |title=Arsenoflorencite-(Nd) Mineral Data |url=https://www.webmineral.com/data/Arsenoflorencite-(Nd).shtml |website=www.webmineral.com}}
