Rhombic may refer to:
*
Rhombus
In plane Euclidean geometry, a rhombus (: rhombi or rhombuses) is a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. Another name is equilateral quadrilateral, since equilateral means that all of its sides are equal in length. The rhom ...

Rhombic antenna, a broadband directional antenna most commonly used on shortwave frequencies
* polyhedra formed from rhombuses, such as the
rhombic dodecahedron
In geometry, the rhombic dodecahedron is a Polyhedron#Convex_polyhedra, convex polyhedron with 12 congruence (geometry), congruent rhombus, rhombic face (geometry), faces. It has 24 edge (geometry), edges, and 14 vertex (geometry), vertices of 2 ...
or the
rhombic triacontahedron
The rhombic triacontahedron, sometimes simply called the triacontahedron as it is the most common thirty-faced polyhedron, is a convex polyhedron with 30 rhombus, rhombic face (geometry), faces. It has 60 edge (geometry), edges and 32 vertex ...
or the
rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb
The rhombic dodecahedral honeycomb (also dodecahedrille) is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is the Voronoi diagram of the face-centered cubic sphere-packing, which has the densest possible packing of equal s ...
or the
rhombic icosahedron
The rhombic icosahedron is a polyhedron shaped like an Oblate spheroid, oblate sphere. Its 20 faces are Congruence (geometry), congruent golden rhombi; 3, 4, or 5 faces meet at each vertex. It has 5 faces (green on top figure) meeting at each of ...
or the
rhombic hexecontahedron
In geometry, a rhombic hexecontahedron is a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron. It is nonconvex with 60 golden rhombus, golden rhombic faces with icosahedral symmetry. It was described mathematically in 1940 by Helmut Unkelbach.
It is top ...
or the
rhombic enneacontahedron
In geometry, a rhombic enneacontahedron (plural: rhombic enneacontahedra) is a polyhedron composed of 90 rhombic faces; with three, five, or six rhombi meeting at each vertex. It has 60 broad rhombi and 30 slim. The rhombic enneacontahedron is a ...
or the
trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron
In geometry, the trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron or rhombo-trapezoidal dodecahedron is a convex polytope, convex dodecahedron with 6 rhombus, rhombic and 6 trapezoidal faces. It has symmetry. A concave form can be constructed with an identical ne ...
