Abstract: We propose and discuss how basic notions (quadratic modules, positive elements, semialgebraic sets, Archimedean orderings) and results (Positivstellensaetze) from real algebraic geometry can be generalized to noncommutative $*$-algebras. A version of Stengle's Positivstellensatz for $nimesn$ matrices of real polynomials is proved.
