A dodecahedron (Greek δωδεκάεδρον, from δώδεκα 'twelve' + εδρον 'base', 'seat' or 'face') is any polyhedron with twelve faces, but usually a regular dodecahedron is meant: a Platonic solid composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex. It has twenty (20) vertices and thirty (30) edges. Its dual polyhedron is the icosahedron. If one were to make every one of the Platonic solids with edges of the same length, the dodecahedron would be the largest.

- Dodecahedron is a Dutch Avant-garde metal / Black metal band from Tilburg, North Brabant, formed in 2006. The members of the band are Y. Terwisscha van Scheltinga, J. Barendregt, J. Bonis, M. Nienhuis and M. Eikenaar.
- The Tigellans used a Dodecahedron as a power source. The Deons, a religious group, believed it to be a gift from their god, Ti. The Zolfa-Thuran, Meglos, wished to steal it and use its power to conquer and destroy worlds. Under the guise of the Fourth Doctor, Meglos compressed the Dodecahedron and stole it. He took it back to Zolfa-Thura. Using the Screens of Zolfa-Thura, Meglos was able to boost the Dodecahedron's power. He planned to destroy Tigella with it but the Doctor reverted the calculations so it destroyed Zolfa-Thura. (TV: Meglos)
- The Dodecahedron is an important item in Planescape: Torment.
- A dodecahedron was the name for a twelve-sided geometric solid, used in physics. In 2372, Jal Tersa was given a puzzle in the form of a docdecahedron by a dancer in a bar on Sobras. (VOY: "Alliances")
