The gyroelongated triangular prismatic honeycomb, or gyetaph, is a convex uniform honeycomb. 4 cubes and 6 triangular prisms join at each vertex of this honeycomb.

It can be thought of as a gyrated triangular prismatic honeycomb with layers of cubes inserted between adjacent layers of triangular prisms, an elongated gyrobifastigial honeycomb with the elongated gyrobifastigia dissected into a cube and two triangular prisms, or an elongated triangular prismatic honeycomb where layers of triangular prisms are rotated by 90º. It shares its vertex figure with the latter.
