Abstract
Evidences for the existence of dark matter in the Universe are briefly reviewed and, in particular, the nature of the galactic halo. Possible candidates, point-like or not, issued from extensions of the Standard Model or Supersymmetric theories are examined. Finally, direct and indirect searches for dark matter particles are summarized.
