In enzymology, a cellulose-polysulfatase (EC 3.1.6.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction of cleaving off the 2- and 3-sulfate groups of the polysulfates of cellulose and charonin.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cellulose-sulfate sulfohydrolase.
