12500 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 12500edo or 12500ed2), also called 12500-tone equal temperament (12500tet) or 12500 equal temperament (12500et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 12500 equal parts of exactly 0.096 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/12500, or the 12500th root of 2.

12500edo is contorted in the 7-limit, with the same tuning as 3125edo. It corrects 3125edo's 11-limit representation, unfortunately only to be consistent that far.
