The marriage of density functional theory (DFT) and deep learning methods has the potential to revolutionize modern research of material science. Here we study the crucial problem of representing DFT Hamiltonian for crystalline materials of arbitrary configurations via deep neural network. A general framework is proposed to deal with the infinite dimensionality and covariance transformation of DFT Hamiltonian matrix in virtue of locality and use message passing neural network together with graph representation for deep learning. Our example study on graphene-based systems demonstrates that high accuracy ($sim$meV) and good transferability can be obtained for DFT Hamiltonian, ensuring accurate predictions of materials properties without DFT. The Deep Hamiltonian method provides a solution to the accuracy-efficiency dilemma of DFT and opens new opportunities to explore large-scale materials and physics.
