This review is based on two lectures given at the 2000 TMR school in Torino (TMR school on contemporary String Theory and Brane Physics, 26 January-2 February 2000, Torino, Italy). We discuss two main themes: (a) Moyal-type deformations of gauge theories, as emerging from M-theory and open string theories, and (b) the non-commutative geometry of finite groups, with the explicit example of Z<sub>2</sub>, and its application to Kaluza-Klein gauge theories on discrete internal spaces.
