In geometry, the rhombicosahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U56. Its vertex figure is an antiparallelogram.

Related polyhedra

A rhombicosahedron shares its vertex arrangement with the uniform compounds of 10 or 20 triangular prisms. It additionally shares its edges with the rhombidodecadodecahedron (having the square faces in common) and the icosidodecadodecahedron (having the hexagonal faces in common).
