2964 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 2964edo or 2964ed2), also called 2964-tone equal temperament (2964tet) or 2964 equal temperament (2964et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 2964 equal parts of about 0.405 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/2964, or the 2964th root of 2.

In the 13-limit, 2964edo shares the same patent val with 494edo except for the 7th harmonic, which is corrected to an extremely accurate result (absolute error 0.00000446 cents, relative error 0.0011%). 2964 is the denominator to a convergent to log27. Bordering 2964edo's patent val 7/1 on either side are 26edo's sharp approximation and 57edo's flat approximation of 7/1, having nearly identical 0.4048¢ errors; 2964edo exactly divides the octave into 26 and into 57 equal steps, splitting the difference between 160\57 and 73\26, as 2964 is expressible as 26 × 57 × 2.
