A link in the 3-sphere is called a hyperbolic link if its knot complement admits the structure of a hyperbolic metric, hence of a hyperbolic 3-manifold, hence if it is isometric to a quotient space of hyperbolic 3-space by a torsion-free discrete group acting by isometries:
(e.g. FKP 17, Def. 2.8)
If the hyperbolic link is in fact a knot (has a single connected component) it is called a hyperbolic knot.
