Ammonium cerium(IV) sulfate is an inorganic compound with the formula (NH₄)₄Ce(SO₄)₄^.2 H₂O. It is an orange-colored solid. It is a strong oxidant, the potential for reduction is about +1.44V. Cerium(IV) sulfate is a related compound.

A crystallographic study shows that the compound contains the Ce₂(SO₄)₈⁸⁻ anion, where the cerium atoms are 9 coordinated by oxygen atoms belonging to sulfate groups, in a distorted tricapped trigonal prism.
