1236 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1236edo or 1236ed2), also called 1236-tone equal temperament (1236tet) or 1236 equal temperament (1236et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1236 equal parts of about 0.971 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/1236, or the 1236th root of 2.

1236edo is a zeta peak edo, though not zeta integral nor zeta gap. It is a strong 17-limit system and distinctly consistent through the 17-odd-limit, with a 17-limit comma basis of {2601/2600, 4096/4095, 5832/5831, 6656/6655, 9801/9800, 105644/105625}.
