We study the production and detection of the standard-model Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron. The most promising mode is [ital WH] and [ital ZH] associated production followed by leptonic decay of the weak vector bosons and [ital H][r arrow][ital b[bar b]]. It may be possible to detect a Higgs boson of mass [ital m][sub [ital H]]=60--80 GeV with 1000 pb[sup [minus]1] of integrated luminosity. We also study the signature for a nonstandard bosonic'' Higgs boson whose dominant decay is to two photons. A signal is easily established with 100 pb[sup [minus]1] in the [ital WH] and [ital ZH] channels, with the weak vector bosons decaying leptonically or hadronically, up to [ital m][sub [ital H]]=100 GeV.
