Iron(II) acetate is an off-white or light brown solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and it forms a light green tetrahydrate. Iron(II) acetate is manufactured from scrap iron and acetic acid, and it is used as a mordant by the dye industry.

It can also be made by the reaction of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide with concentrated acetic acid.^[1]
