749 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 749edo or 749ed2), also called 749-tone equal temperament (749tet) or 749 equal temperament (749et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 749 equal parts of about 1.602 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/749, or the 749th root of 2.

The equal temperament is most notable for tempering out the schisma, 32805/32768, and provides the optimal patent val for the 5-limit schismatic (helmholtz) temperament.
