The author introduces the concept of discrete conic as a polygon lying on a conic \(C\) such that every pair of vertices determine an angle of \(2\pi/n\) with the focus \(F\). In the paper, some nice optical and isogonal properties (analogous to those of conics) of discrete conics are determined. In particular, a similar property to Pascal's hexagrammum misticum theorem is determined. To conclude, two canonical constructions of discrete conics are given.
