This contribution describes high-velocity clouds (HVCs), neutral hydrogen moving with velocities inexplicable by differential galactic rotation. They have been invoked as evidence for infall of gas to the Galaxy, as manifestations of a galactic fountain, as energy source for the formation of supershells, etc. It is becoming clear that a single model will not suffice to explain all HVCs. A better understanding is mainly hampered by the fact that the distance remains unknown. Many aspects to the study of HVCs will be discussed here.
