In these lectures, we introduce finite temperature QCD on the lattice tonon-experts of the subject. We first formulate lattice QCD both at zero andfinite temperatures. Then a section is devoted to the topic of improved latticeactions which are becoming an essential ingredient of precision studies of QCDon the lattice. We then discuss about finite temperature SU(3) gauge theory,i.e. QCD without dynamical quarks (quenched QCD). Finally, we report recentstatus of studies in full QCD taking into account the effects of dynamicalquarks.Comment: Lectures presented at the 1997 Yukawa International Seminar (YKIS'97) on ``Non-Perturbative QCD --- Structure of the QCD Vacuum ---'', YITP, Kyoto, Japan, 2--12 Dec. 1997.
