A titanate is a mixed oxide containing titanium in the +4 oxidation state. Titanates form with a wide variety of metals and differing stoichiometries (including non-stoichiometric compounds).[1] Although the terms orthotitanate and metatitanate have been used to refer to MxTiO4 and MxTiO3 stoichiometries respectively, only barium orthotitanate, Ba2TiO4, contains discrete titanium oxoanions.[1][2] The name "titanic acid" has sometimes been applied to hydrated titanium dioxide.

Many titanates, especially barium titanate, BaTiO3, have been extensively studied for their ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties.[1]
