SAO星表（The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog / 史密松天体物理台星表）是一个天体测量星表，在1966年由史密松天体物理台出版，共包含258,997颗恒星。该星表由之前的一些星表编纂而成，但仅收录9.0等以上且已经精确测量过自行的恒星。SAO星表里的星名由字母SAO开头接着数字序号表示，恒星以赤纬分区，每10度为一区，共分为18区，在每一区中的恒星依照赤经位置来排序。SAO星表较大的变动是增加了一些HD星表没有的资料：恒星的自行，因为这是很有用的资料；与HD星表和巡天星表序号的交互参照，在最后的一版中仍然被保留着。

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog is an astrometric star catalogue. It was published by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in 1966 and contains 258,997 stars. The catalogue was compiled from various previous astrometric catalogues, and contains only stars to about ninth magnitude for which accurate proper motions were known. Names in the SAO catalogue start with the letters SAO, followed by a number. The numbers are assigned following 18 ten-degree bands of declination, with stars sorted by right ascension within each band.
