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

These polytopes are part of a family of 271 uniform 9-polytopes with A₉ symmetry.

There are unique 4 degrees of rectifications. Vertices of the rectified 9-simplex are located at the edge-centers of the 9-simplex. Vertices of the birectified 9-simplex are located in the triangular face centers of the 9-simplex. Vertices of the trirectified 9-simplex are located in the tetrahedral cell centers of the 9-simplex. Vertices of the quadrirectified 9-simplex are located in the 5-cell centers of the 9-simplex.

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the rectified 9-simplex can be most simply positioned in 10-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1). This construction is based on facets of the rectified 10-orthoplex.
