The dodecadodecahedron, or did, is a quasiregular uniform polyhedron. It consists of 12 pentagons and 12 pentagrams, with two of each joining at a vertex. It can be derived as a rectified small stellated dodecahedron or great dodecahedron.
This polyhedron is abstractly regular, being a quotient of the order-4 pentagonal tiling. Among the non-regular uniform polytopes, it shares this property with the ditrigonary dodecadodecahedron. Its realization may also be considered regular if one also counts conjugacies as symmetries.
Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]
A dodecadodecahedron of side length 1 has vertex coordinates given by all permutations of
- ,
and even permutations of
- .
The first set of vertices corresponds to a scaled octahedron which can be inscribed into the dodecadodecahedron.

The dodecadodecahedron is the colonel of a three-member regiment that also includes the small dodecahemicosahedron and the great dodecahemicosahedron.
