In seven-dimensional geometry, a rectified 7-simplex is a convex uniform 7-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 7-simplex.
There are four unique degrees of rectifications, including the zeroth, the 7-simplex itself. Vertices of the rectified 7-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 7-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 7-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 7-simplex. Vertices of the trirectified 7-simplex are located in the tetrahedral cell centers of the 7-simplex.

The rectified 7-simplex is the edge figure of the 251 honeycomb. It is called 05,1 for its branching Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, shown as .
E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as S1
7.
The vertices of the rectified 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1). This construction is based on facets of the rectified 8-orthoplex.

The trirectified 7-simplex is the intersection of two regular 7-simplexes in dual configuration.
E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as S3
