We look for solutions
$ u\left( x,t\right) $
 of the one-dimensional heat equation
$ u_{t} = u_{xx} $
 which are space-time periodic, i.e. they satisfy the property
$ u\left( x+a,t+b\right) = u\left( x,t\right) $
for all
$ \left( x,t\right) \in\left( -\infty,\infty\right) \times\left( -\infty,\infty\right), $
 and derive their Fourier series expansions. Here
$ a\geq0,\ b\geq 0 $
 are two constants with
$ a^{2}+b^{2}>0. $
 For general equation of the form
$ u_{t} = u_{xx}+Au_{x}+Bu, $
 where
$ A,\ B $
 are two constants, we also have similar results. Moreover, we show that non-constant bounded periodic solution can occur only when
$ B>0 $
 and is given by a linear combination of
$ \cos\left( \sqrt{B}\left( x+At\right) \right) $
 and
$ \sin\left( \sqrt{B}\left( x+At\right) \right). $
Keywords: Heat equation, time-periodic solution, space-periodic solution, space-time periodic solution, travelling wave solution.
