Abstract
The analytic expression of the Wigner function for bound eigenstates of the Hulthén potential in quantum phase space is obtained and presented by plotting this function for a few quantum states. In addition, the correct marginal distributions of the Wigner function in spherical coordinates are determined analytically.
