A Snub polyhedron is a polyhedron which not have reflection symmetry and hence have two enantiomorphous forms which are reflections of each other. This property is called Chirality.

Their symmetry groups are all point groups and are one of:
- O - chiral octahedral symmetry;the rotation group of the cube and octahedron; order 24.
- I - chiral icosahedral symmetry; the rotation group of the icosahedron and the dodecahedron; order 60.
