We prove that uniformly locally finite metric spaces with isomorphic Roe algebras must be coarsely equivalent. As an application, we also prove that the outer automorphism group of the Roe algebra of such a metric space is canonically isomorphic to the group of coarse equivalences of the space up to closeness.
