A multi-object spectrometer is a type of optical spectrometer capable to simultaneously acquire the spectra of multiple separate objects in its field of view. It is used in astronomical spectroscopy and is related to long-slit spectroscopy.[1]

Such instruments are available on most 8-10 meter-class ground-based observatories.[2] The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument is a multi-object spectrometer.[3]
