Abstract. Let $R[G]$ be the group ring of a group $G$ over an associative ring $R$ with unity such that all prime divisors of orders of elements of $G$ are invertible in $R$. If $R$ is finite and $G$ is a Chernikov (torsion $FC$-) group, then each $R$-derivation of $R[G]$ is inner. Similar results also are obtained for other classes of groups $G$ and rings $R$.
