In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the tetrahedral-triangular tiling honeycomb is a paracompact uniform honeycomb, constructed from triangular tiling, tetrahedron, and octahedron cells, in a icosidodecahedron vertex figure. It has a single-ring Coxeter diagram, , and is named by its two regular cells.
