Abstract	It has long been suggested on theoretical grounds that MHD waves must occur in the solar corona, and have important implications for coronal physics. An unequivocal identification of such waves has however proved elusive, though a number of events were consistent with an interpretation in terms of MHD waves. Recent detailed observations of waves in events observed by SOHO and TRACE removes that uncertainty, and raises the importance of MHD waves in the corona to a higher level. Here we review theoretical aspects of how MHD waves and oscillations may occur in a coronal medium. Detailed observations of waves and oscillations in coronal loops, plumes and prominences make feasible the development of coronal seismology, whereby parameters of the coronal plasma (notably the Alfvén speed and through this the magnetic field strength) may be determined from properties of the oscillations. MHD fast waves are refracted by regions of low Alfvén speed and slow waves are closely field-guided, making regions of dense coronal plasma (such as coronal loops and plumes) natural wave guides for MHD waves. There are analogies with sound waves in ocean layers and with elastic waves in the Earth's crust. Recent observations also indicate that coronal oscillations are damped. We consider the various ways this may be brought about, and its implications for coronal heating.
