In geometry, the snub square antiprism is the Johnson solid that can be constructed by snubbing the square antiprism. It is one of the elementary Johnson solids that do not arise from "cut and paste" manipulations of the Platonic and Archimedean solids. However, it is a relative of the icosahedron that has fourfold symmetry instead of threefold. It has 26 faces: 2 squares and 24 triangles; and two types of edges: triangle-square, triangle-triangle.
