In geometry, the great icosidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U54. It is given a Schläfli symbol r{3,5/2}. It is the rectification of the great stellated dodecahedron and the great icosahedron. It was discovered independently by {{harvs|txt|last=Hess|authorlink=Edmund Hess|year=1878}}, {{harvs|txt|last=Badoureau|year=1881}} and {{harvs|txt|last=Pitsch|year=1882}}.

The name is constructed analogously as how a cube-octahedron creates a cuboctahedron, and how a dodecahedron-icosahedron creates a (small) icosidodecahedron.
It shares the same vertex arrangement with the icosidodecahedron, its convex hull. Unlike the great icosahedron and great dodecahedron, the great icosidodecahedron is not a stellation of the icosidodecahedron, but a faceting of it instead.
It also shares its edge arrangement with the great icosihemidodecahedron (having the triangular faces in common), and with the great dodecahemidodecahedron (having the pentagrammic faces in common).

This polyhedron can be considered a rectified great icosahedron:
The truncated great stellated dodecahedron is a degenerate polyhedron, with 20 triangular faces from the truncated vertices, and 12 (hidden) pentagonal faces as truncations of the original pentagram faces, the latter forming a great dodecahedron inscribed within and sharing the edges of the icosahedron.

Great rhombic triacontahedron
{{Uniform polyhedra db|Uniform dual polyhedron stat table|gID}}The dual of the great icosidodecahedron is the great rhombic triacontahedron; it is nonconvex, isohedral and isotoxal. It has 30 intersecting rhombic faces. It can also be called the great stellated triacontahedron.
The great rhombic triacontahedron can be constructed by expanding the size of the faces of a rhombic triacontahedron by a factor of 
, where 
is the golden ratio.
