Abstract: Recently, a non-trivial $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravity, by rescaling the GB coupling parameter as $alpha/(D-4)$, was formulated in cite{Glavan:2019inb}, which bypasses Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky instability. The theory admits a static spherically symmetric black hole, unlike $5D$ EGB or general relativity counterpart, which can have both Cauchy and event horizons. We generalize previous work, on gravitational lensing by a Schwarzschild black hole, in the strong and weak deflection limits to the $4D$ EGB black holes to calculate the deflection coefficients $$ and $$, while former increases and later decrease with increasing $alpha$. We also find that the deflection angle $alph{a}_D$, angular position $het{a}_{infty}$ and $u_m$ decreases, but angular separation $s$ increases with $alpha$. The effect of the GB coupling parameter $alpha$ on positions and magnification of the source relativistic images is discussed in the context of SgrA* and M87* black holes. A brief description of the weak gravitational lensing using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem is presented.
