Sodium dihydrogen arsenate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaH₂AsO₄. Related salts are also called sodium arsenate, including Na₂HAsO₄ ( disodium hydrogen arsenate) and NaH₂AsO₄ (sodium dihydrogen arsenate). Sodium dihydrogen arsenate is a colorless solid that is highly toxic.

The salt is the conjugate base of arsenic acid:

H₃AsO₄ ⇌ H₂AsO⁻
₄ + H⁺ (K₁ = 10^−2.19)

In the laboratory, it is prepared in this way, crystallizing from a hot saturated aqueous solution, where it is highly soluble when hot (75.3 g in 100 mL at 100 °C). It is obtained as the monohydrate.

Upon heating, solid NaH₂AsO₄H₂O, loses water of crystallization and converts to the pyroarsenate salt Na₂H₂As₂O₇.^[1]
