象限儀座(拉丁語:mural quadrant)是法國天文學家熱羅姆·拉朗德於1795年創建的星座。它描繪了一個掛在牆上的四分儀(象限儀),他和他的侄子Michel Lefrançois de Lalande用它繪製了天球圖,並在法國地圖冊中被命名為《Le Mural 》[1]。它位於牧夫座和天龍座之間,靠近大熊座的尾部[2],包含介於七公增七(牧夫座β)和搖光(大熊座η)之間的恆星[3]。
約翰·波德將其名稱改為拉丁語: Quadrans Muralis,並在1801年的《Uranographia》星圖中將星座縮小了一點,以避免與鄰近的星座發生衝突[1]。Quadrans Muralis was omitted
在1922年,象限儀座被國際天文學聯合會正式確定其官方認可的星座清單時,廢棄了象限儀座[4]。
