In geometry, the biaugmented pentagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J53). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by doubly augmenting a pentagonal prism by attaching square pyramids (J1) to two of its nonadjacent equatorial faces. (The solid obtained by attaching pyramids to adjacent equatorial faces is not convex, and thus not a Johnson solid.)
The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.
