In 8-dimensional geometry, the 142 is a uniform 8-polytope, constructed within the symmetry of the E8 group.

Its Coxeter symbol is 142, describing its bifurcating Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the 1-node sequences.

The rectified 142 is constructed by points at the mid-edges of the 142 and is the same as the birectified 241, and the quadrirectified 421.

These polytopes are part of a family of 255 (28 − 1) convex uniform polytopes in 8 dimensions, made of uniform polytope facets and vertex figures, defined by all non-empty combinations of rings in this Coxeter-Dynkin diagram: .
