search files in current directory whose name do not contain "txt" in linux

I know how to find files with suffix .txt in the current directory: find *.txt

How do I invert this?

I am new to Linux, so please help. Thanks!

If you just want the current directory, and your shell is bash:

shopt -s extglob
ls !(*.txt)
