Calcium bromate, Ca(BrO₃)₂, is a calcium salt of bromic acid.

It can be prepared through the reaction of bromine with calcium hydroxide suspension; the calcium hypobromite formed decomposes with heating to yield calcium bromate and bromide. In theory, electrolysis of calcium bromide solution will also yield calcium bromate.

It is used as a flour improver (E number E924b) in some countries.
