This article reviews the development, characteristics and applications of coatings for fusion reactor materials. First, the technological objectives and material-environment interactions are briefly summarized, together with materials requirements and the role of coatings. Then, specific applications in different areas of a fusion device are reviewed, namely the plasma facing components, electrical insulation, diffusion and permeation barriers. Various coating fabrication methods are mentioned and the respective coating characteristics are compared. Selected case studies are presented, with particular focus given to ITER and to ceramic coatings.
