This paper deals with the problem of tracking control for a class of high order nonlinear systems with input delay. The unknown continuous functions of the system are estimated by fuzzy logic systems （FLS）. A state conversion method is introduced to eliminate the delayed input item. By means of the backstepping algorithm, the property of semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded （SGUUB） of the closed-loop system is achieved. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved according to Lyapunov second theorem on stability. The tracking error is proved to be bounded which ultimately converges to an adequately small compact set. Finally, a computer simulation example of high order nonlinear systems is presented, which illustrates the effectiveness of the control scheme.
