In geometry, the heptagrammic-order heptagonal tiling is a regular star-tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {7,7/2}. The vertex figure heptagrams are {7/2},
. The heptagonal faces overlap with density 3.
Related tilings
It has the same vertex arrangement as the regular order-7 triangular tiling, {3,7}. The full set of edges coincide with the edges of a heptakis heptagonal tiling.


It is related to a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, the great dodecahedron, {5,5/2}, which is polyhedron and a density-3 regular star-tiling on the sphere (resembling a regular icosahedron in this state, similarly to this tessellation resembling the order-7 triangular tiling):
