Definition
A topological space is termed a Urysohn space if, for any two distinct points , there exist disjoint open subsets such that the closures <math\overline{U}</math> and are disjoint closed subsets of .
Note that the term Urysohn space is also used for the somewhat stronger notion of functionally Hausdorff space. There is a terminological ambiguity here.
This article defines a property of topological spaces: a property that can be evaluated to true/false for any topological space|View a complete list of properties of topological spaces
In the T family (properties of topological spaces related to separation axioms), this is called: T2.5
