In a polyhedron - a 3-dimensional object - a pair of parallel faces are two faces which lie in planes that are parallel to each other.

Parallel faces need not be congruent. For example, consider a pyramid whose top is sliced off by a plane parallel to it base. The flat top and the base will be parallel faces but will not be congruent.
