Efimov physics is renowned for the self-similar spectrum featuring the universal ratio of one eigenenergy to its neighbor. Even more esoteric is the numerically unveiled fact that every Efimov trimer is accompanied by a pair of tetramers. Here we demonstrate that this hierarchy of universal few-body clusters has a topological origin by identifying the numbers of universal three- and four-body bound states with the winding numbers of the renormalization-group limit cycle in theory space. The finding suggests a topological phase transition in mass-imbalanced few-body systems which should be tested experimentally.
