This book provides a survey of the basic ideas of the cellular automaton (CA) modelling environment, emphasising the relevance of this framework to astrophysical applications. It contains introductory level lectures on lattice gases, and on CA turbulence, diffusion-reaction processes, percolation and self-organised criticality. Further, it gives a variety of astrophysical applications, including stellar oscillations, galactic evolution, distribution of luminous matter in the universe, etc.
