在几何学，若一种多面体的每个顶点均能对应到另一种多面体上的每个面的中心，它就是对方的对偶多面体。

根据对偶原则，每种多面体都存在对偶多面体。一种多面体的对偶多面体的对偶多面体等同该种多面体。

对偶的性质可以透过一个已知的球定义。每个顶点都在一个平面之上，使得由中心向顶点的射线都和平面垂直，且中心和每点的距离的平方等于半径的平方。在坐标来说，关于球：

顶点

和平面结合

相应的对偶多面体的顶点就是原来多面体的面的对应，而对偶多面体的面就是原来多面体的顶点的对应。另外，相邻顶点定义出的棱能对应出两个相邻面，这些面的相交线亦定义出对偶多面体的一条棱。

In geometry, polyhedra are associated into pairs called duals, where the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other. Starting with any given polyhedron, the dual of its dual is the original polyhedron. The dual of an isogonal polyhedron, having equivalent vertices, is one which is isohedral, having equivalent faces, and of one which is isotoxal, having equivalent edges, is also isotoxal. The regular polyhedra — the Platonic solids and Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra — form dual pairs, with the exception of the regular tetrahedron which is self-dual.
