The great hecatonicosachoron, or gohi, also commonly called the great 120-cell, is one of the 10 regular Schläfli–Hess polychora. It has 120 great dodecahedra as cells, joining 5 to an edge and 12 to a vertex in the form of a small stellated dodecahedron.

It is a faceting of the hexacosichoron, sharing its vertices and edges. The great dodecahedral cells are in the vertex-figure planes of the hexacosichoron.

It is one of two regular star polychora to be self-dual, the other one being the grand stellated hecatonicosachoron, which is the conjugate of this polychoron.
