Abstract.Originally defined by Haupt and Pauc in 1952, the density topology has since been well-studied. Consequently a Baire category analogue of the density topology was developed by Ciesielski and Larson (1993) and Wilczynski (1984). This paper presents another variation on the density topology. Given an arbitrary homeomorphism $f$ with $f$ and $f^{-1}$ satisfying property $N$, we define an $f$-density operator and a corresponding $f$-density topology, $T_f$. In this paper, $T_f$ is proven to be a topology and general properties of the topology are developed. Classes of functions, where $T_f = T_d$ are identified and it is shown that there is a function $f$ so that $T_f \neq T_d$.
