A sequence converges to if every open neighbourhood of contains all sufficiently late terms. A Hausdorff space separates any two distinct points by disjoint open neighbourhoods.
If a sequence had distinct limits in a Hausdorff space, choose disjoint open neighbourhoods of and of . Convergence to each limit implies that all sufficiently late terms lie in both and , contradicting . Hence a convergent sequence in a Hausdorff space has a unique limit.
