In geometry, the bigyrate diminished rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J79). It can be constructed as a rhombicosidodecahedron with two pentagonal cupolae rotated through 36 degrees, and a third pentagonal cupola removed. (None of the cupolae can be adjacent.)

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that are composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids , Archimedean solids , prisms , or antiprisms ). They were named by Norman Johnson , who first listed these polyhedra in 1966. [1]
