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 mPSL2(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.
