Strontium aluminate is an aluminate compound with the chemical formula SrAl₂O₄ (sometimes written as SrO·Al₂O₃). It is a pale yellow, monoclinic crystalline powder that is odourless and non-flammable. When activated with a suitable dopant (e.g. europium, written as Eu:SrAl₂O₄), it acts as a photoluminescent phosphor with long persistence of phosphorescence.

Strontium aluminates exist in a variety of other compositions including SrAl₄O₇ (monoclinic), Sr₃Al₂O₆ (cubic), SrAl₁₂O₁₉ (hexagonal), and Sr₄Al₁₄O₂₅ (orthorhombic). The different compositions cause different colours of light to be emitted.
