The demiocteractic octacomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 8-space. It is constructed as an alternation of the regular octeractic octacomb.

It is composed of two different types of facets. The octeracts become alternated into demiocteracts h{4,3,3,3,3,3,3} and the alternated vertices create octacross {3,3,3,3,3,3,4} facets.
