In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Pappus graph is a 3-regular graph with 18 vertices and 27 edges, formed as the Levi graph of the Pappus configuration. It is a distance-regular graph, one of only 14 such cubic graphs according to [http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~gordon/remote/foster/#drgs Cubic symmetric graphs (The Foster Census)] . It has crossing number 5, and is the smallest cubic graph with that crossing number OEIS|id=A110507.

The name "Pappus graph" has also been used to refer to a related nine-vertex graph (Kagno 1947).
