803 equal divisions of the octave (803edo), or 803-tone equal temperament (803tet), 803 equal temperament (803et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 803 equal parts of about 1.49 ¢ each.

803edo is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit, and if harmonic 5 is used, the equal temperament tends very sharp. It is most notable for tempering out the escapade comma, providing the optimal patent val for the escapade temperament in the 5-limit.

The 803bd val is a tuning for swetneus and the 803c val tempers out the maja comma in the 5-limit, tuning the maja temperament. In the higher limits, it is a strong 2.11.13/9.17/15.19.21 system.
