The demitesseractic honeycomb or hexadecachoric honeycomb is the one of three regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 4-space. The other two are the tesseractic honeycomb and the icositetrachoric honeycomb. It is constructed from 16-cell polychoron facets, three around every edge. It has a 24-cell vertex figure.

As a regular honeycomb, {3,3,4,3}, it has no lower dimensional analogues, but as an alternated form, the (demitesseractic honeycomb), h{4,3,3,4}, it is related to the alternated cubic honeycomb.

It is also called a F4 lattice.
