In this paper, we completely classify all compact 4-manifolds with positive isotropic curvature. We show that they are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{S}^4,$ or $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^4$ or quotients of $\mathbb{S}^3\times \mathbb{R}$ by a cocompact fixed point free subgroup of the isometry group of the standard metric of $\mathbb{S}^3\times \mathbb{R}$, or a connected sum of them.
