Sodium tetrahydroxyborate is a salt (ionic compound) of with chemical formula NaH4BO4 or Na+[B(OH)4]. It is one of several sodium borates. At room temperature it is a colorless crystalline solid.[1][2]

The element ratio corresponds to the oxide mixture Na2O·B2O3·4H2O, but the structure of the solid is quite different from that suggested by this formula.
