Sumario:The TOTEM Experiment at the CERN LHC pp collider is here presented. After a general overview on the detector components, the main features of its physics programme, focused on the measurements of the total cross section, elastic pp scattering and diffractive phenomena, are described. These measurements will be of primary importance in order to distinguish among different models of soft proton interactions.
