In four dimensional geometry, the cantellated 5-cell is a uniform polychoron. It has 30 vertices, 90 edges, 80 faces, and 20 cells. The cells are 5 cuboctahedra, 5 octahedra, and 10 triangular prisms. Each vertex is surrounded by 2 cuboctahedra, 2 triangular prisms, and 1 octahedron; the vertex figure is a nonuniform triangular prism.

Alternate names

* Cantellated 4-simplex
* (small) prismatodispentachoron
* Rectified dispentachoron
* Srip (Jonathan Bowers: for small rhombated pentachoron)
