{wiki=Final_topology}
In topology, the concept of a **final topology** (sometimes referred to as the **final topology with respect to a set of maps**) is an important construction that arises particularly in the context of category theory and the study of topological spaces. Intuitively, a final topology is defined in terms of a collection of topological spaces and continuous maps from those spaces to a target space.
