215 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 215edo or 215ed2), also called 215-tone equal temperament (215tet) or 215 equal temperament (215et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 215 equal parts of about 5.58 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/215, or the 215th root of 2.

The equal temperament tempers out 4000/3969 and 65625/65536, and the patent val provides the optimal patent val for the 53 & 162 temperament (ditonic extension) tempering them both out, and the rank-3 temperament tempering 4000/3969 out. The 215c val tempers out 2401/2400, 5120/5103, and supports hemififths.
