}} Silver chlorate is an inorganic compound with molecular formula AgClO₃. It forms white tetragonal crystals.{{cite journal|last1=Náray-Szabó|first1=St. v.|last2=Pócza|first2=J.|title=Die Struktur des Silberchlorats AgClO3|journal=Zeitschrift für Kristallographie - Crystalline Materials|date=January 1942|volume=104|issue=1|pages=28–38 |doi=10.1524/zkri.1942.104.1.28|s2cid=102075872 |language=German}}{{cite journal|last1=Deshpande|first1=Vilas|last2=Suryanarayana|first2=S V|last3=Frantz|first3=C|title=Tetragonal to cubic phase transition in silver chlorate|journal=Bulletin of Materials Science|date=December 1982|volume=4|issue=5|pages=563–568|doi=10.1007/BF02824963|doi-access=free}} Like all chlorates, it is water-soluble and an oxidizing agent. As a simple metal salt, it is a common chemical in basic inorganic chemistry experiments. It is light-sensitive, so it must be stored in tightly closed dark-coloured containers.

The substance exhibits blasting properties, therefore it is sometimes used as a primary explosive.

Silver(I) means silver is in its normal +1 oxidation state.
