Promethium(III) oxalate is an oxalate of promethium, with the chemical formula Pm₂(C₂O₄)₃. Its decahydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/m.^[1] Promethium(III) oxalate trihydrate can decompose into stable basic carbonate Pm₂O₂CO₃,^[2] and generate promethium(III) oxide at higher temperatures.^[3]

In all lanthanide oxalates, promethium(III) oxalate has the lowest solubility.^[4]
