Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, {[Zn(C₂O₄)(C₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O}_n, the Zn^II atom adopts an octahedral geometry, formed by two N atoms of an ethylenediamine ligand [Zn-N = 2.112  (4)-2.124  (4))  Å] and four O atoms of two bridging oxalate ligands [Zn-O = 2.105  (3)-2.154  (3)  Å]. The asymmetric unit consists of one and one-half formula units.
