Silver chlorate is an inorganic compound with molecular formula AgClO₃. It forms white tetragonal crystals. 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.
