The regular polyhedra are those that have congruent and regular vertices, faces and edges. They are listed here, along with their Schläfli symbols.

Platonic[]

The five Platonic solids are the convex regular polyhedra.

Kepler-Poinsot[]

The four Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra are concave, intersect themselves, and some have star polygons as faces rather than convex ones.

  • Great Stellated Dodecahedron
  • Great Icosahedron
  • Great Dodecahedron
  • Small Stellated Dodecahedron

Abstract[]

Abstract polyhedra are topologically equivalent to tilings of hyperbolic space. Therefore, they are not considered part of the nine main regular polyhedra, but are listed nonetheless.

  • Dodecadodecahedron
  • Medial Rhombic Triacontahedron
  • Medial Triambic Icosahedron
  • Ditrigonal Dodecadodecahedron
  • Excavated Dodecahedron

Spherical[]

Spherical polyhedra can only exist on the surface of a sphere, and are degenerate in normal Euclidean space. Therefore, they are not considered part of the nine main regular polyhedra.

  • Henagonal Henahedron
  • Henagonal Hosohedron
  • Henagonal Dihedron
  • Digonal Dihedron / Digonal Hosohedron
  • Trigonal Hosohedron
  • Trigonal Dihedron
