In eight-dimensional geometry, a rectified 8-cube is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 8-cube.

There are unique 8 degrees of rectifications, the zeroth being the 8-cube, and the 7th and last being the 8-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 8-cube are located at the edge-centers of the 8-cube. Vertices of the birectified 8-cube are located in the square face centers of the 8-cube. Vertices of the trirectified 8-cube are located in the 7-cube cell centers of the 8-cube.
