The '''line graph of a hypergraph''' is the [[graph (discrete mathematics)|graph]] whose vertex set is the set of the hyperedges of the [[hypergraph]], with two hyperedges adjacent when they have a nonempty intersection. In other words, the line graph of a hypergraph is the [[intersection graph]] of a family of finite sets. It is a generalization of the [[line graph]] of a graph.
 
Questions about line graphs of hypergraphs are often generalizations of questions about line graphs of graphs. For instance, a hypergraph whose edges all have size ''k'' is called ''k''' ''-uniform'''. (A 2-uniform hypergraph is a graph.). In hypergraph theory, it is often natural to require that hypergraphs be ''k''-uniform. Every graph is the line graph of some hypergraph, but, given a fixed edge size ''k'', not every graph is a line graph of some ''k''-uniform hypergraph. A main problem is to characterize those that are, for each ''k'' ≥ 3.
