With only 2 sides parallel, it is a trapezium (UK). I think in the US this is called a trapezoid.
Other cases with 2 (but not only 2) sides parallel are the rhombus and parallelogram, the latter of which includes the rectangle and square as part of that family.

A trapezium. Any four sided figure is a quadrilateral, so it is a quadrilateral, by the same token it's a polygon, but specifically, in the US this is known as a trapezium. Interestingly, The Trapezium is something different in Britain. There, the trapezium has two parallel sides and here in the US we'd call that a Trapezoid. (Go figure!) I like the guys answer of "an irregular quadrilateral", that is correct also.
