An ultrametric is a metric $d$ on a set $X$ satisfying the strong triangle inequality: $d(x,y) \le \max\{d(x,z), d(z,y)\}$. An ultrametric topology is one induced by an ultrametric.
An ultrametric valuation $\Vert{\cdot}\Vert$ on a ring $R$ similarly satisfies the condition: $\Vert x+y \Vert \le \max\{\Vert x \Vert, \Vert y \Vert\}$. An example is the $p$-adic valuation.
The term non-Archimedean is also used.
