In geometry, a rhombus (pl.: rhombi or rhombuses) is an equilateral quadrilateral, a quadrilateral whose four sides all have the same length. Other names for rhombus include diamond, lozenge, and calisson.

Every rhombus is a simple polygon (having no self-intersections). A rhombus is a special case of a parallelogram and a kite. A rhombus with right angles is a square. A non-square rhombus has two opposite acute angles and two opposite obtuse angles.
