In this paper we generalize the notion of Hopf algebra. We consider an algebra A , with or without identity, and a homomorphism A from A to the multiplier algebra M(A ® A) of A ® A . We impose certain conditions on A (such as coassociativity). Then we call the pair {A, A) a multiplier Hopf algebra. The motivating example is the case where A is the algebra of complex, finitely supported functions on a group G and where (Af)(s, t) = f(st) with s, t £ G and f € A . We prove the existence of a counit and an antipode. If A has an identity, we have a usual Hopf algebra. We also consider the case where A is a *-algebra. Then we show that (a large enough) subspace of the dual space can also be made into a *-algebra.
