ജ്യാമിതിയിൽ 6 വശങ്ങളുള്ള ഒരു ബഹുഭുജത്തിനേയാണ് ഷഡ്‌ഭുജം (hexagon) എന്ന് വിളിക്കുന്നത്. ഒരേ തലത്തിൽ സ്ഥിതിചെയ്യുന്ന 6 ബിന്ദുക്കളാണ് ഒരു ഷഡ്‌ഭുജത്തെ നിർണ്ണയിക്കുന്നത്. ഏതൊരു ലളിത ഷഡ്‌ഭുജത്തിന്റേയും ആന്തരകോണുകളുടെ ആകെ തുക 720° ആയിരിക്കും.

സമഭുജ ഷഡ്‌ഭുജത്തിന്റെ (Regular hexagon) ആന്തരകോണുകൾ 120° ആയിരിക്കും.


A step-by-step animation of the construction of a regular hexagon using compass and straightedge, given by Euclid's Elements, Book IV, Proposition 15: this is possible as 6 $=$ 2 × 3, a product of a power of two and distinct Fermat primes.		When the side length AB is given, then you draw around the point A and around the point B a circular arc. The intersection M is the center of the circumscribed circle. Transfer the line segment AB four times on the circumscribed circle and connect the corner points.
