For a half‐translation surface (S,q)$(S,q)$ , the associated saddle connection complex A(S,q)$\mathcal {A}(S,q)$ is the simplicial complex where vertices are the saddle connections on (S,q)$(S,q)$ , with simplices spanned by sets of pairwise disjoint saddle connections. This complex can be naturally regarded as an induced subcomplex of the arc complex. We prove that any simplicial isomorphism ϕ:A(S,q)→A(S′,q′)$\phi \colon \mathcal {A}(S,q) \rightarrow \mathcal {A}(S^{\prime },q^{\prime })$ between saddle connection complexes is induced by an affine diffeomorphism F:(S,q)→(S′,q′)$F \colon (S,q) \rightarrow (S^{\prime },q^{\prime })$ . In particular, this shows that the saddle connection complex is a complete invariant of affine equivalence classes of half‐translation surfaces. Throughout our proof, we develop several combinatorial criteria of independent interest for detecting various geometric objects on a half‐translation surface.
