A Hilbert lattice is the lattice of closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert spaces (with preorder given by the inclusion) over real, complex or quaternion numbers. This is an orthocomplemented lattice and in fact an orthomodular lattice.
The logic it embodies is Birkhoff-von Neumann quantum logic. See there for more.
