In geometry, the trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J75). It contains 20 triangles, 30 squares and 12 pentagons. It is also a canonical polyhedron.

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]

It can be constructed as a rhombicosidodecahedron with three pentagonal cupolae rotated through 36 degrees. Related Johnson solids are:
