Abstract: In these lectures, we give a pedagogical introduction to the superconformal index. This is the writeup of the lectures given at the Winter School "YRISW 2020" and is to appear in a special issue of JPhysA. The lectures are at a basic level and are geared towards a beginning graduate student interested in working with the superconformal index.
