The paper is concerned with a certain type of Borel subrelations of general ergodic discrete measured equivalence relations. It is generalized the notion of a Hecke pair of groups to the case of an inclusion of ergodic discrete measured equivalence relation. A key ingredient in defining this concept is a commensurability subrelation introduced and discussed in a preceeding article of the authors. It is constructed from a given Hecke pair \(({\mathcal R},{\mathcal S})\) a von Neumann algebra associated with \(({\mathcal R},{\mathcal S})\). It is shown that the Hecke von Neumann algebra is realized as one of the relative commutants of the tower of the corresponding inclusion of factors. There are examples of Hecke pairs of equivalence relations.
