Zirconyl chloride is the inorganic compound with the formula of [Zr₄(OH)₈(H₂O)₁₆]Cl₈·12H₂O, more commonly written ZrOCl₂·8H₂O, and referred to as zirconyl chloride octahydrate. It is a white solid and is the most common water-soluble derivative of zirconium. The salt is produced by hydrolysis of zirconium tetrachloride or treating zirconium oxide with hydrochloric acid. A compound with the formula ZrOCl₂ has not been characterized.
