Magnesium gluconate is a compound with formula MgC₁₂H₂₂O₁₄. It is the magnesium salt of gluconic acid.

According to one study, magnesium gluconate showed the highest level^{[dubious – discuss]} of bioavailability of any magnesium salt which implies its viability as a supplement, although of the 10 salts studied, all increased magnesium levels significantly.^{[non-primary source needed][1][non-primary source needed]} This study did not include magnesium glycinate, which is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium.^{[medical citation needed]}

It has E number "E580".
