281 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 281edo or 281ed2), also called 281-tone equal temperament (281tet) or 281 equal temperament (281et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 281 equal parts of about 4.27 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/281, or the 281st root of 2.

The equal temperament tempers out 225/224 in the 7-limit, and 243/242 and 4000/3993 in the 11-limit, so that it supports marvo and provides the optimal patent val; it also gives the optimal patent val for the rank-3 spectacle temperament.
