The elongated triangular prismatic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of cubes and triangular prisms in a ratio of 1:2.

It is constructed from an elongated triangular tiling extruded into prisms.

It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
