In MySQL, you can use the `RENAME TABLE` statement to rename a table. The syntax is as follows:

```sql
RENAME TABLE old_table_name TO new_table_name;
```

Here, `old_table_name` refers to the original table name, and `new_table_name` is the new name you want to assign. After executing this command, the original table name is replaced by the new name.

For example, if you want to rename a table named `customers` to `clients`, you can use the following command:

```sql
RENAME TABLE customers TO clients;
```

Before executing this command, ensure that no other database operations are using the table to avoid conflicts or data consistency issues.
