In geometry, the nonconvex great rhombicuboctahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U17. It is represented by Schläfli symbol t0,2{4,3/2} and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram of . Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral.

This model shares the name with the convex great rhombicuboctahedron, also called the truncated cuboctahedron.

An alternate name for this figure is quasirhombicuboctahedron. From that derives its Bowers acronym: querco.
