The runcicantic cubic honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of truncated cuboctahedra, truncated cubes and truncated tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:1:2. It is related to the runcicantellated cubic honeycomb.

John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a f-tCO-trille, and its dual half pyramidille.
