Let Γ ⊂ O ( n ) be a finite group acting on R n . In this work we describe the possible symmetry groups that can occur for attractors of smooth (invertible) Γ‐equivariant dynamical systems. In case R n contains no reflection planes and n ⩾ 3, our results imply that there are no restrictions on symmetry groups. In case n ⩾ 4 (diffeomorphisms) and n ⩾ 5 (flows), we show that we may construct attractors which are Axiom A. We also give a complete description of what can happen in low dimensions.
