'''Hausdorff space''' (or '''T<sub>2</sub> spaces''') is a [[topological space]] in which, for any pair of indistinct points x and y, there exist disjoint closed sets U and V, such that x is in U and x is in V. Almost all spaces studied in analysis are Hausdorff.

The subspace of a Hausdorff space is a Hausdorff space; the product of 2 Hausdorff spaces is a Hausdorff space.

The most important property of Hausdorff spaces is that sequences, nets and filters converge to a unique point.

An Etale space provides an example of a space that is not T<sub>2</sub>.
