Rotation is one of the most important observable in stellar astrophysics driving strongly the evolution of stars. This review presents the main observational results on the rotation of Red Giant and Horizontal-Branch stars carried out along the past 50 years. The review brings, in particular, the most recent results based on very accurate measurements of rotational velocity obtained mostly along the last decade.
