In nine-dimensional geometry, a rectified 9-cube is a convex uniform 9-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 9-cube.

There are 9 rectifications of the 9-cube. The zeroth is the 9-cube itself, and the 8th is the dual 9-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 9-cube are located at the edge-centers of the 9-orthoplex. Vertices of the birectified 9-cube are located in the square face centers of the 9-cube. Vertices of the trirectified 9-orthoplex are located in the cube cell centers of the 9-cube. Vertices of the quadrirectified 9-cube are located in the tesseract centers of the 9-cube.

These polytopes are part of a family of 511 uniform 9-polytopes with BC9 symmetry.
