In geometry, the truncated great dodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U37. It has 24 faces (12 pentagrams and 12 decagons), 90 edges, and 60 vertices.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mathconsult.ch/static/unipoly/37.html|title=37: truncated great dodecahedron|last=Maeder|first=Roman|date=|website=MathConsult|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}} It is given a Schläfli symbol t{5,5/2}.

It shares its vertex arrangement with three other uniform polyhedra: the nonconvex great rhombicosidodecahedron, the great dodecicosidodecahedron, and the great rhombidodecahedron; and with the uniform compounds of 6 or 12 pentagonal prisms.

This polyhedron is the truncation of the great dodecahedron:
The truncated small stellated dodecahedron looks like a dodecahedron on the surface, but it has 24 faces, 12 pentagons from the truncated vertices and 12 overlapping as (truncated pentagrams).
