Let u be a function on a connected finite graph G = (V, E). We consider the mean field equation (1) $-{\Delta}u={\rho}\({\frac{he^u}{\int_Vhe^ud{\mu}}}-{\frac{1}{{\mid}V{\mid}}}\),$ where ∆ is 𝜇-Laplacian on the graph, 𝜌 ∈ ℝ\{0}, h : V → ℝ+ is a function satisfying minx∈V h(x) > 0. Following Sun and Wang [15], we use the method of Brouwer degree to prove the existence of solutions to the mean field equation (1). Firstly, we prove the compactness result and conclude that every solution to the equation (1) is uniformly bounded. Then the Brouwer degree can be well defined. Secondly, we calculate the Brouwer degree for the equation (1), say $$d_{{\rho},h}=\{{-1,\;{\rho}>0, \atop 1,\;{\rho}<0.}$$ Consequently, the equation (1) has at least one solution due to the Brouwer degree d𝜌,h ≠ 0.
