In geometry, the parabiaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J59). It can be seen as a dodecahedron with two pentagonal pyramids (J2) attached to opposite faces. When pyramids are attached to a dodecahedron in other ways, they may result in an augmented dodecahedron (J58), a metabiaugmented dodecahedron (J60), a triaugmented dodecahedron (J61), or even a pentakis dodecahedron if the faces are made to be irregular.

The dual of this solid is the gyroelongated pentagonal bifrustum.[ citation needed ]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]
