In geometry, the elongated cupolae are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal cupola to an 2n-gonal prism.

There are three elongated cupolae that are Johnson solids made from regular triangles and square, and pentagons. Higher forms can be constructed with isosceles triangles. Adjoining a triangular prism to a cube also generates a polyhedron, but has two pairs of coplanar faces, so is not a Johnson solid. Higher forms can be constructed without regular faces.

Forms

	elongated digonal cupola	2 triangles, 6+1 squares
	elongated triangular cupola (J18)	3+1 triangles, 9 squares, 1 hexagon
	elongated square cupola (J19)	4 triangles, 12+1 squares, 1 octagon
	elongated pentagonal cupola (J20)	5 triangles, 15 squares, 1 pentagon, 1 decagon
	elongated hexagonal cupola	6 triangles, 18 squares, 1 hexagon, 1 dodecagon
