In geometry, the pentagonal gyrocupolarotunda is one of the Johnson solids (J33). Like the pentagonal orthocupolarotunda (J32), it can be constructed by joining a pentagonal cupola (J5) and a pentagonal rotunda (J6) along their decagonal bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 36 degrees with respect to one another.

The 92 Johnson solids were named and described by Norman Johnson in 1966.
