A hexagonal pyramid is a three-dimensional polytope created by taking the pyramid of a hexagon, which means that it also the segmentotope between a hexagon and a point. Its Bowers' acronym is hippy.

The regular form of a hexagonal pyramid, where all edges are the same length and all faces are regular, is flat. This is because the height of a regular n-gonal pyramid is given by the formula

$\sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{4} \csc^2 \left( \frac{\pi}{n} \right) }$ , which is equal to zero when n=6.
