The state of our knowledge concerning the chemical composition of H II regions in the Magellanic Clouds is reviewed. New abundances derived from all modern published spectroscopy are presented. Some of the implications of the results regarding the nucleosynthesis of the elements and galactic chemical evolution are noted.
