Silver permanganate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula AgMnO4. This salt is a purple crystal adopting a monoclinic crystal system.{{cite journal|last=Boonstra|first=E. G.|title=The crystal structure of silver permanganate|journal=Acta Crystallographica Section B|date=14 August 1968|volume=24|issue=8|pages=1053–1062|doi=10.1107/S0567740868003699|bibcode=1968AcCrB..24.1053B }} It decomposes when heated or mixed with water, and heating to high temperature may lead to explosion. The compound is used in gas masks.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
