249 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 249edo or 249ed2), also called 249-tone equal temperament (249tet) or 249 equal temperament (249et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 249 equal parts of about 4.82 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/249, or the 249th root of 2.

249edo is inconsistent in the 5-odd-limit and there are a number of mappings to be considered, in particular, a sharp tending mapping for the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup, and a flat-tending mapping for the 2.9.5.7.11.13 subgroup.

In the 249bcee val, it is a tuning for the diesic temperament.

It is part of the optimal ET sequence for the diesic and undecimal magic temperaments.
