Batu matahari Aztek (Sepanyol: Piedra del Solcode: es is deprecated ) ialah arca Mexica pascaklasik yang disimpan di Muzium Antropologi Negara di Bandar Raya Mexico, dan mungkin karya arca Aztek yang terkenal.[1] Reka bentuknya yang kompleks dan bahasa glif yang rumit ialah hasil daripada budaya yang canggih. [2] Batu ini berukuran 358 sentimeter (141 in) diameter dan 98 sentimeter (39 in) tebal, dan beratnya 24,590 kg (54,210 lb).[3] Tidak lama selepas penaklukan Sepanyol, arca monolit tertanam di Zócalo, dataran utama Bandar Raya Mexico. Ia ditemukan semula pada 17 Disember 1790 semasa pembaikan Katedral Bandar Raya Mexico.[4] Berikutan penemuan semulanya, batu matahari tersebut dilekapkan pada dinding luar katedral hingga tahun 1885.[5] Pada awalnya, cendekiawan awal berpendapat batu tersebut diukir pada tahun 1470-an, namun penyelidikan moden mengatakan batu itu diukir antara 1502 dan 1521.[6]
