In geometry, the grand 120-cell or grand polydodecahedron is a regular star 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol . It is one of 10 regular Schläfli-Hess polytopes.

It is one of four regular star 4-polytopes discovered by Ludwig Schläfli. It is named by John Horton Conway, extending the naming system by Arthur Cayley for the Kepler-Poinsot solids.

Related polytopes

It has the same edge arrangement as the 600-cell, icosahedral 120-cell and the same face arrangement as the great 120-cell.

It could be seen as another 4D analogue of the three-dimensional great dodecahedron due to being a pentagonal polytope with enlarged facets.
