In the title complex, [CaI(C4H10O2)3]I, the CaII atom is seven-coordinated by six O atoms from three 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) ligands and one iodide anion in a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. The I atom and one of the O atoms from a DME ligand lie in the axial positions while the other O atoms lie in the basal plane. The other iodide anion is outside the complex cation.
