By using Symanzik{close_quote}s improvement program, we study on-shell-improved lattice QCD with staggered fermions. We find that there are as many as 15 independent lattice operators of dimension 6 (including both gauge and fermion operators) which must be added to the unimproved action to form an O(a{sup 2})-improved action. Among them, the total number of dimension-6 gauge operators and fermion bilinears is 5. The other ten terms are four-fermion operators. At the tree level and tadpole-improved tree level, all ten four-fermion operators are absent. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
