Abstract: By a quantum metric space we mean a C^*-algebra (or more generally an order-unit space) equipped with a generalization of the Lipschitz seminorm on functions which is defined by an ordinary metric. We develop for compact quantum metric spaces a version of Gromov-Hausdorff distance. We show that the basic theorems of the classical theory have natural quantum analogues. Our main example involves the quantum tori, Ah. We show, for consistently defined ``metrics, that if a sequence hn of parameters converges to a parameter h, then the sequence Ahn of quantum tori converges in quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance to Ah.
