Abstract: In 1992 A. Zhedanov introduced the Askey-Wilson algebra AW=AW(3) and used it to describe the Askey-Wilson polynomials. In this paper we introduce a central extension $Delta$ of AW, obtained from AW by reinterpreting certain parameters as central elements in the algebra. We call $Delta$ the {it universal Askey-Wilson algebra}. We give a faithful action of the modular group ${mPSL}_2(mathbbZ)$ on $Delta$ as a group of automorphisms. We give a linear basis for $Delta$. We describe the center of $Delta$ and the 2-sided ideal $Delta[Delta,Delta]Delta$. We discuss how $Delta$ is related to the $q$-Onsager algebra.
