In this paper we classify the homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay rings which are of finite representation type, that is, the Cohen-Macaulay rings which are positively graded and generated in degree 1, with an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 in degree 0, and which have, up to isomorphisms and shifts in the grading, only a finite number of indecomposable maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules (MCM-modules). Our main contribution is to show that a homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay ring of finite representation type and dimension >__ 2 must have "minimal multiplicity". Putting this together with previous results of Auslander, Auslander-Reiten, Buchweitz-Greuel-Schreyer, Greuel-Kn6rrer, and Solberg, we obtain:
