In geometry, a decahedron is a polyhedron with ten faces. There are 32300 topologically distinct decahedra and none is regular, so this name is ambiguous.

With regular faces:

  • Octagonal prism (uniform 8-prism)
  • Square antiprism (uniform 4-antiprism)
  • Square cupola (Johnson solid 4)
  • Pentagonal bipyramid (Johnson solid 13, 5-bipyramid)
  • Augmented pentagonal prism (Johnson solid 52)
  • With irregular faces it can also be:

  • Pentagonal trapezohedron (5-trapezohedron, antiprism dual) — often used as a die in role playing games, known as d10
  • Enneagonal pyramid (9-pyramid)
