The '''impossible cube''' or '''irrational cube''' is an [[impossible object]] invented by [[M.C. Escher]] for his print ''[[Belvedere (M. C. Escher)|Belvedere]]''. It is a two-dimensional figure that superficially resembles a [[perspective drawing]] of a three-dimensional [[cube]], with its features drawn inconsistently from the way they would appear in an actual cube.
