Abstract: We study the ADHM construction of (anti-)self-dual instantons in eight dimensions. We propose the general scheme to construct the (anti-)self-dual gauge field configurations $FwedgeF=pm{\ast }_{8}FwedgeF$ whose finite topological charges are given by the fourth Chern number. We show that our construction reproduces the known $extSO(8)$ one-instanton solution. We also construct multi-instanton solutions of 't Hooft and Jackiw-Nohl-Rebbi (JNR) types in the dilute instanton gas approximation. The well-separated configurations of multi-instantons reproduce the correct topological charges with high accuracy. We also show that our construction is generalized to (anti-)self-dual instantons in $4n(n=3,4,ldots)$ dimensions.
