In geometry, the small icosihemidodecahedron (or small icosahemidodecahedron) is a uniform star polyhedron, indexed as U49. It has 26 faces (20 triangles and 6 decagons), 60 edges, and 30 vertices.[1] Its vertex figure alternates two regular triangles and decagons as a crossed quadrilateral. It is a hemipolyhedron with its six decagonal faces passing through the model center.

3D model of a small icosihemidodecahedron

It is given a Wythoff symbol, 32 3 | 5, but that construction represents a double covering of this model.

It shares its edge arrangement with the icosidodecahedron (its convex hull, having the triangular faces in common), and with the small dodecahemidodecahedron (having the decagonal faces in common).
