In this chapter we focus on the discussion of observational data on cluster mergers. The majority of the results shown comes from observations with the ROSAT observatory. Results from ASCA, BeppoSAX and from very recent observations performed with XMM-Newton are also included. We discuss the signature and diagnostics of the merger process in galaxy clusters. We show some observable effects caused by mergers. Based on large statistically complete samples of X-ray selected galaxy clusters we consider the frequency and statistics of cluster mergers and compare them to predictions of cosmological models.
