Ebony Armor is a heavy armor set in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Ebony Armor can be forged, if the Ebony Smithing perk from the Smithing skill tree is selected at level 80 or above. The set contains five pieces, including a shield, boots, a cuirass, gauntlets, and helmet. Pieces of Ebony Armor are used at the Atronach Forge in the Midden to craft pieces of Daedric Armor.

Comparisons and variations
Only Daedric and Dragonbone are stronger, statistically, than Ebony Armor. Ebony Mail, a Daedric artifact of Boethiah, is a unique armor piece of Ebony Armor.
Ebony Armor has appeared in every main Elder Scrolls title since Arena, where it usually serves as the set statistically outdone only by Daedric armor. Skyrim, however, omitted greaves, dropping the count from six to five pieces in the set.
Acquisition
After level 32, Ebony Armor can be found as randomized loot in containers and on leveled foes. After level 33, enchanted variations of Ebony Armor can be found. Blacksmiths and other armor vendors begin to sell articles of Ebony armor at these levels.

Bugs
- PS3 When Ebony Armor is picked, it will not add any weight to the inventory. After a few hours, however, the weight is added.
- 360 PS3 The 25% Armor Bonus added from the perk "Matching Set" may not be added when a full set of Ebony Armor is equipped.
- PS3 The skin around the neck may be visible through the armor in the third person view with male characters but not with female characters. The Ebony Mail, however, does not have this issue.
- 360 PS3 When equipping an Ebony shield it might sometimes be invisible but can still be used. For vampires, the shield will be invisible and will not provide any stat bonuses.
