In group theory, a branch of abstract algebra, a **covering group** is a concept that relates to the idea of covering spaces in topology, though it is used more specifically in the context of group representations and algebraic structures. A covering group can refer to a group that serves as a double cover of another group in the sense of group homomorphisms.
