Abstract: A J{o}rgensen group is a non-elementary Kleinian group that can be generated by two elements for which equality holds in J{o}rgensen's Inequality. This paper shows that the only torsion-free J{o}rgensen group is the figure-eight knot group, identifies all non-cocompact arithmetic J{o}rgensen groups, and establishes a characterization of cocompact arithmetic J{o}rgensen groups. The paper also defines and computes the J{o}rgensen number of several non-cocompact Kleinian groups including some two-bridge knot and link groups.
