Resonance rings are intriguing sites of organized star formation in some galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 has been used to image several resonance rings at high resolution in order to study the star clusters in the rings. Here I summarize results on inner Lindblad resonance rings in ESO 565–11 and NGC 1326, and on an inner 4:1 resonance ring in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 3081. The latter ring provides one of the strongest cases illustrating the connection between star formation and dynamics in disk galaxies.
