'''Silver iodate''' (AgIO<sub>3</sub>) is a white crystal composed of [[silver]], [[iodine]] and [[oxygen]]. Unlike most metal iodates, it is [[insoluble]] in water.

Silver iodate can be obtained by reacting [[silver nitrate]] (AgNO<sub>3</sub>) with [[iodate]]. The biproduct of the reaction is [[nitrate]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Qiu |first=Chao |coauthors=Sheng Han; Xingguo Cheng; and Tianhui Ren |year=2005 |title=Distribution of Thioethers in Hydrotreated Transformer Base Oil by Oxidation and ICP-AES Analysis |journal=[[Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research]] |volume=44 |issue=11 |pages=4151-4155 |doi=10.1021/ie048833b |url=http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi/iecred/2005/44/i11/abs/ie048833b.html |accessdate=2007-05-03 |quote=Silver nitrate reacts with iodate to form the precipitate of silver iodate, and the precipitate is transferred to silver nitrate.}}</ref>
