For an arbitrary finite metric space \((X,d)\) a subset \(A\), \(A \subset X\), is called a resolving set if for any two points \(x\) and \(y\) from the space \(X\) there is an element \(a\) from subset \(A\), such that  distances \(d(a,x)\) and \(d(a,y)\) are different. The metric dimension \(md(X)\) of the space \(X\) is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set. It is well known that the problem of finding the metric dimension of a metric space is NP-complete [7]. In this paper, the metric dimension for finite ultrametric spaces is completely characterized. It is proved that for any finite ultrametric space there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for determining the metric dimension of this spaces.
