We find necessary and sufficient conditions on a topological space X so that S(X), the semigroup of all continuous selfmaps of X, is isomorphic to the multiplicative semigroup of a near-ring. The analogous problem is also considered for the semigroup of all continuous selfmaps which fix some point of X.
