In geometry, the 'Snub hexagonal tiling' (or ''snub trihexagonal tiling'') is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are four triangles and one hexagon on each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of ''s{3,6}''.
There are 3 regular and 8 semiregular tilings in the plane. This is the only one of the semiregular tilings which does not have a reflection as a symmetry.
This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of snubbed polyhedra with vertex figure (3.3.3.3.n).

There is only one uniform coloring of a snub hexagonal tiling. (Naming the colors by indices (3.3.3.3.6): 11213.)
