The aim of this paper is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on a group G and a ring A for the group ring AG to be semi-perfect. A complete answer is given in the commutative case, in terms of the polynomial ring A[X] (Theorem 5.8). In the general case examples are given which indicate a very strong interaction between the properties of A and those of G. Partial answers to the question are given in Theorem 3.2, Proposition 4.2 and Corollary 4.3.
