458 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 458edo or 458ed2), also called 458-tone equal temperament (458tet) or 458 equal temperament (458et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 458 equal parts of about 2.62 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/458, or the 458th root of 2.

458edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 5 is about halfway between its steps. The equal temperament is most notable for tempering out the kleisma, 15625/15552, in the 5-limit and provides the optimal patent val for the 5-limit kleismic temperament.
