In this note we give the proof of the following result (previously known for homotopically trivial and free actions on infranilmanifolds [3, Theorem 5.6]).

Theorem 1. Let G be a finite group acting freely and smoothly on a closed infranilmanifold M. Assume that dim M≠3, 4. Then the action of G is topologically conjugate to an affine action.
