The catalog of 4195 optically confirmed Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected galaxy clusters were detected with signal-to-noise > 4 in 13,211 deg
2 of sky surveyed by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Cluster candidates were selected by applying a multi-frequency matched filter to 98- and 150-GHz maps constructed from ACT observations obtained from 2008-2018 and confirmed using deep, wide-area optical surveys. The clusters span the redshift range 0.04 < z < 1.91 (median z = 0.52). The catalog contains 222 z > 1 clusters, and a total of 868 systems are new discoveries. Assuming an SZ-signal vs. mass scaling relation calibrated from X-ray observations, the sample has a 90% completeness mass limit of M
500c > 3.8 x 10
14M
sol, evaluated at z=0.5, for clusters detected at signal-to-noise ratio > 5 in maps filtered at an angular scale of 2.40. The survey has a large overlap with deep optical weak-lensing surveys that are being used to calibrate the SZ-signal mass-scaling relation, such as the Dark Energy Survey (4566 deg
2), the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (469 deg
2), and the Kilo Degree Survey (825 deg
2). This HEASARC database table was ingested in February 2021. It contains the ACT DR5 SZ cluster catalog obtained from the LAMDBA website (
