Neodymium tantalate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NdTaO₄. It is prepared by reacting neodymium oxide and tantalum pentoxide at 1200 °C. It reacts with a mixture of tantalum pentoxide and chlorine gas at high temperature to obtain Nd₂Ta₂O₇Cl₂. It is ammonolyzed at high temperature to obtain oxynitrides of Nd-Ta.
