\abstract This is a set of lecture notes which present an economical development of measure theory and integration in locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We have tried to illuminate the more difficult parts of the subject. The Riesz-Markov theorem is established in a form convenient for applications in modern analysis, including Haar measure on locally compact groups or weights on $C^*$-algebras...though applications are not taken up here. The reader should have some knowledge of basic measure theory, through outer measures and Carath\'eodory's extension theorem. \endabstract
