The advent of long-baseline optical and infrared interferometers has meant that spatially resolved studies of stellar atmospheres have now become routinely possible. While prototype arrays, which have typically operated with short baselines and limited sensitivity, have produced exciting preliminary results, it is the development of larger dedicated facility arrays, such as the CHARA, Keck, and VLT interferometers, that offer the best prospects for advancing astrophysics. In this paper I review the possibilities and limitations of interferometric studies of stellar atmospheres, and highlight some recent results from optical/IR spatial interferometry.
