The gyroelongated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, or gyetoh, also known as the gyroelongated alternated cubic honeycomb, is a convex uniform honeycomb. 3 octahedra, 4 tetrahedra, and 6 triangular prisms join at each vertex of this honeycomb.

It can be formed by inserting layers of triangular prisms between layers of cells of the gyrated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, or by gyrating alternate layers of the elongated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, which it shares its vertex figure with.
