In geometry, the snub icosidodecadodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U46. It has 104 faces (80 triangles, 12 pentagons, and 12 pentagrams), 180 edges, and 60 vertices.[1] As the name indicates, it belongs to the family of snub polyhedra.

Let the linear transformations be the transformations which send a point to the even permutations of with an even number of minus signs. The transformations constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular tetrahedron. The transformations , constitute the group of rotational symmetries of a regular icosahedron. Then the 60 points are the vertices of a snub icosidodecadodecahedron. The edge length equals , the circumradius equals , and the midradius equals .

For a snub icosidodecadodecahedron whose edge length is 1, the circumradius is

Its midradius is
