Abstract
We classify rational, irreducible quartic symmetroids in projective 3-space. They are either singular along a line or a smooth conic section, or they have a triple point or a tacnode.

I would like to thank Kristian Ranestad for many insightful discussions and for super\-vising the master’s thesis of which this paper is both an abridgement and an extension. I thank the anonymous referee for helpful comments.
