Abstract A graph G = (X, E) is called Harniltonian if it has a Hamiltonian circuit, i.e. a circuit whose set of vertices is the vertex set X of G. G is called locally Hamiltonian if for every x in X the graph exists and is Hamiltonian. In this note, we show that a minimal non-Hamiltonian, connected locally Hamiltonian graph is of order eleven.
