A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a representation as a polynomial element of the universal enveloping algebra of some algebra of differential (difference) operators in finite-dimensional representation plus an operator annihilating the finite-dimensional invariant subspace. In low dimensions a classification is given by algebras $sl_2({\bold R})$ (for differential operators in ${\bold R}$) and $sl_2({\bold R})_q$ (for finite-difference operators in ${\bold R}$), $osp(2,2)$ (operators in one real and one Grassmann variable, or equivalently, $2 \times 2$ matrix operators in ${\bold R}$), $sl_3({\bold R})$, $sl_2({\bold R}) \oplus sl_2({\bold R})$ and $gl_2 ({\bold R}) \ltimes {\bold R}^{r+1}\ , r$ a natural number (operators in ${\bold R^2}$). A classification of linear operators possessing infinitely many finite-dimensional invariant subspaces with a basis in polynomials is presented. A connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable spectral problems is discussed.
