The heptagonal tegum, also called a heptagonal bipyramid, is a tegum with a heptagon as the midsection, constructed as the dual of a heptagonal prism. It has 14 isosceles triangles as faces, with 2 order–7 and 7 order–4 vertices.

In the variant obtained as the dual of a uniform heptagonal prism, the side edges are times the length of the edges of the base heptagon. Each face has apex angle and base angles . If the base heptagon has edge length 1, its height is .
