Abstract
To every oriented link $L$, we associate a topologically defined biquandle $\widehat{\mathcal{B}}_{L}$, which we call the topological biquandle of $L$. The construction of $\widehat{\mathcal{B}}_{L}$ is similar to the topological description of the fundamental quandle given by Matveev. We find a presentation of the topological biquandle and explain how it is related to the fundamental biquandle of the link.
