      This paper defines the notion of conjugation space and studies the properties of such spaces. These are spaces \(X\) having an involution \(T\) for which \(X\) and the fixed point set \(F\) of \(T\) have isomorphic mod 2 cohomology with dimensions doubled. The classic example is a complex Grassmannian with involution given by complex conjugation for which the fixed point set is a real Grassmannian. Many examples of conjugation spaces are exhibited.
