thumb|200px|Star of Lakshmi

The Star of Lakshmi is a special octagram, a regular compound polygon, represented by Schläfli symbol {8/2} or 2{4}, made from two congruent squares with the same center at 45° angles, and figures in Hinduism, commonly misattributed to Ashtalakshmi (, ', lit. Eightfold Lakshmi), the eight forms, or "kinds of wealth", of the goddess Lakshmi.

In some cases, Lakshmi is also represented by a hexagram star.

  • An eight-pointed star logo has been used by the band Faith No More, although the creator said it was an homage to the Symbol of Chaos.
