Abstract This review provides an introduction to non-geometric backgrounds in string theory. Starting from a discussion of T-duality, geometric and non-geometric torus-fibrations are reviewed, generalised geometry and its relation to non-geometric backgrounds are explained and compactifications of string theory with geometric and non-geometric fluxes are discussed. Furthermore covered are doubled geometry as well as non-commutative and non-associative structures in the context of non-geometric backgrounds.
