6380 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 6380edo or 6380ed2), also called 6380-tone equal temperament (6380tet) or 6380 equal temperament (6380et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 6380 equal parts of about 0.188 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/6380, or the 6380th root of 2.

As a very large edo, it's not really viable for acoustic instruments or being played in by hand in real time, but it is relatively composite and has quite a high consistency limit. It could be seen as a unit of detuning or pitch bend for working in a 29- or 58edo-centric environment.
