Abstract
We present the catalog of 1459 eclipsing binary stars detected in the centr al 2.4 square degree area of the Small Magellanic Cloud during the OGLE-II microlensing search. The sample includes objects brighter than I approximat e to 20 mag with periods ranging from about 0.3 to 250 days. The average co mpleteness of the catalog is about 80%. Statistics of the entire sample and well detached systems, suitable for distance determination, are also prese nted. The catalog, finding charts and BVI photometry data for all objects are ava ilable from the OGLE Internet archive.
