I review measurements of heavy element abundances within H II regions in the Magellanic Clouds, highlighting in particular improved determinations of carbon abundances based on UV spectroscopy with Hubble Space Telescope. In general, the Magellanic Cloud H II regions show average underabundances in O, Ne, and S (relative to their Galactic counterparts) that are similar to those measured in Magellanic Cloud stars. However, comparison of stars and ionized gas shows discrepancies in C and N abundances that may be related to recently recognized mixing processes that may be operating in massive stars.
