In geometry, the augmented truncated tetrahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J65). It is created by attaching a triangular cupola to one hexagonal face of an truncated tetrahedron.

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that have regular faces but are not uniform (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.[1]
