The square cupolic prism, or squacupe, is a CRF segmentochoron (designated K-4.69 on Richard Klitzing's list). It consiss of 2 square cupolas, 4 triangular prisms, 1+4 cubes, and 1 octagonal prism.

As the name suggests, it is a prism based on the square cupola. As such, it is a segmentochoron between two square cupolas. It can also be viewed as a segmentochoron between an octagonal prism and a cube.

Two square cupolic prisms can be attached to opposite octagonal prismatic cells of the square-octagonal duoprism to produce a small rhombicuboctahedral prism.
