In geometry, the parabiaugmented dodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J59).

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]

It can be seen as a dodecahedron with two pentagonal pyramids attached to opposite faces. When pyramids are attached to a dodecahedron in other ways, they may result in an augmented dodecahedron, a metabiaugmented dodecahedron, a triaugmented dodecahedron, or a small stellated dodecahedron.
