Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly interacting systems. This invited review briefly summarizes significant recent progress in lattice investigations of supersymmetric field theories, as well as some of the challenges that remain to be overcome. I focus on progress in three areas: supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theories in fewer than four space-time dimensions, as well as both minimal 
SYM and maximal 
SYM in four dimensions. I also highlight superQCD and sign problems as prominent challenges that will be important to address in future work.
