Gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies is an efficient tool to probethe mass distribution of galaxies and clusters, high redshift objects thanks tothe gravitational amplification, and the geometry of the universe. We reviewsome important aspects of cluster lensing and related issues in observationalcosmology.Comment: invited review of the journal: Progress of Theoretical Physics (in press) 51 pages - 33 figure
