### **Gravitational wave probes of dark matter**

After a brief introduction on the status of dark matter searches, I will discuss the prospects for discovering and identifying dark matter using gravitational waves. I will focus in particular on the environmental effects induced by different types of dark matter overdensity on the dynamical evolution of black hole binaries, and argue that future interferometers may enable precision studies of the dark matter distribution and particle properties.
