This paper reports on the coupling of the 2{ital n}-dimensional Wess--Zumino--Witten action to gauge fields discussed and a simple manifestly gauge-invariant form of the gauged Wess--Zumino term is found which is an integral over a (2{ital n} + 1)-dimensional space whose boundary is space-time. In two and four dimensions, our actions give simple forms for the action describing coset conformal field theories and the low-energy QCD effective action, respectively.
