description I give an overview of recent results on top quark properties and interactions, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the years 2010--2011 at sqrt(s)= 7 TeV. Measurements are presented for the inclusive top pair production cross section, using the dilepton, lepton plus jets, and hadronic channels. The mass of the top quark is measured using the dilepton and lepton plus jets samples. CMS also measures the cross section for electroweak production of single top quarks and constrains the CKM matrix element V_tb. Top quark results are compared with Standard Model predictions and used to search for possible presence of new physics. In particular, measurements of the top-pair invariant mass distribution are used to search for new particles decaying to top pairs. CMS has also investigated the top-pair charge asymmetry to search for possible new physics contributions.
