The compound of two cuboctahedra is a polyhedron compound. It consists of 16 triangles (4 of which lie in the same two planes at the top and bottom of the shape, forming 2 golden hexagrams) and 12 squares. Two triangles (sometimes one triangle and one hexagram) and two squares join at each vertex.

The compound of two cuboctahedra is one of the facets of some uniform polychora of the sadros daskydox and gadros daskydox regiments.
It also has the same non-standard hexagram faces as the compound of two icosahedra and its conjugate, the compound of two great icosahedra. These are not to be mistaken for the hexagram faces of the small snub icosicosidodecahedron, though.
