In geometry, a dodecagram () is a star polygon or compound with 12 vertices. There is one regular dodecagram polygon (with Schläfli symbol {{math|{12/5} }} and a turning number of 5). There are also 4 regular compounds {{math|{12/2},}} {{math|{12/3},}} {{math|{12/4},}} and {{math|{12/6}.}}
== Regular dodecagram == There is one regular form: {12/5}, containing 12 vertices, with a turning number of 5. A regular dodecagram has the same vertex arrangement as a regular dodecagon, which may be regarded as {12/1}.
