We review here some conventional as well as less conventional aspects of the time-independent and time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi ($HJ$) theory and of its connections with Quantum Mechanics. Less conventional aspects involve the $HJ$ theory on the tangent bundle of a configuration manifold, the quantum $HJ$ theory, $HJ$ problems for general differential operators and the $HJ$ problem for Lie groups.
Keywords: Hamiltonian system, Hamilton-Jacobi equation, Lagrangian system, Semiclassical Approximation..
