Abstract
In this paper we study the Wigner functions of neutral particles, which are moving in an external electromagnetic field within noncommutative quantum mechanics. To do so, first, we review briefly the Wigner functions in noncommutative quantum mechanics. Then we calculate the Wigner functions both in noncommutative space and noncommutative phase space, the additional terms related to the space-space and momentum-momentum non-commutativity are given explicitly.
