Il pentagramma (dal greco pente, "cinque" e gramma, "linea") è un poligono, intrecciato e stellato, una stella a cinque punte, formata da cinque segmenti intersecantisi. Può essere regolare o irregolare. Un pentagramma regolare può essere formato da un pentagono regolare o estendendo i suoi lati, o disegnando le sue diagonali. La figura risultante contiene varie lunghezze correlate dalla proporzione aurea. Si tratta del più semplice poligono stellato unicursale.
