In geometry, the heptagonal antiprism is the fifth in an infinite set of antiprisms formed by two parallel polygons separated by a strip of triangles. In the case of the heptagonal antiprism, the caps are two regular heptagons. As a result, this polyhedron has 14 vertices, and 14 equilateral triangle faces. There are 14 edges where a triangle meets a heptagon, and another 14 edges where two triangles meet.

The heptagonal antiprism was first depicted by Johannes Kepler, as an example of the general construction of antiprisms.[1]
