In the geometry of hyperbolic 5-space, the 5-orthoplex honeycomb is one of five paracompact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). It is paracompact because the fundamental domain of its symmetry group has finite volume. With Schläfli symbol {3,3,3,4,3}, it has three 5-orthoplexes around each cell. It is dual to the 24-cell honeycomb honeycomb.

Its vertex figure is the 16-cell honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}.
