We present the structure of the hermean magnetosphere obtained by a global three-dimensional MHD simulation. The magnetic field of Mercury is strong enough to form a permanent magnetosphere under typical solar wind conditions. Mercury does not have a substantial atmosphere or ionosphere which makes
