In this note, we associate a foliated singular homology theory to a foliation on a compact manifold X and construct a spectral sequence which relates the foliated homology to the ordinary homology of X. Since the foliated homology is so constructed as to be related closely to a certain topological behavior of the foliation, we may expect that further study of the spectral sequence reveals some information on topology of foliation. The study and applications will be given in a sequel.
