The triangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of hexagonal prisms and triangular prisms in a ratio of 1:2.

It is constructed from a trihexagonal tiling extruded into prisms.

It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
