In geometry, a pentagonal tiling is a tiling of the plane where each individual piece is in the shape of a pentagon.
A regular pentagonal tiling on the Euclidean plane is impossible because the internal angle of a regular pentagon, 108°, is not a divisor of 360°, the angle measure of a whole turn. However, regular pentagons can tile the hyperbolic plane and the sphere; the latter produces a tiling topologically equivalent to the dodecahedron.
