Enveloping algebra in mathematics may refer to:
- The universal enveloping algebraUniversal enveloping algebraIn mathematics, for any Lie algebra L one can construct its universal enveloping algebra U. This construction passes from the non-associative structure L to a unital associative algebra which captures the important properties of L.Any associative algebra A over the field K becomes a Lie algebra...
