In Unity, most custom code that we write is to create script components. Therefore, in Unity, this usually refers to the script component that is executing the current code. Common uses include accessing a different component, or identifying the associated gameObject.

Destroy( this.gameObject);  //example of identifying associated gameObject

The MSDN reference provides several usage examples
