In mathematics, the Borromean rings are three simple closed curves in three-dimensional space that are topologically linked and cannot be separated from each other, but that break apart into two unknotted and unlinked loops when any one of the three is cut or removed.

Other triples of curves are said to form the Borromean rings as long as they are topologically equivalent to the curves depicted in this drawing.
