Abstract: We compute ${\rm Aut}(W)$ for any even Coxeter group whose Coxeter diagram is connected, contains no edges labeled 2, and cannot be separated into more than 2 connected components by removing a single vertex. The description is given explicitly in terms of the given presentation for the Coxeter group and admits an easy characterization of those groups $W$ for which ${\rm Out}(W)$ is finite.
