Abstract: Astrophysical objects provide us with some of the most amazing laboratories in which to look for signs of new fundamental physics. In this talk I will present an overview of how these environments are enabling us to search for one of the most well-motivated candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model: the axion. After discussing the role that axions play in a broad range astrophysical environments, I will highlight the promising opportunities that await us in the next decade.
