There is an intriguing ~6 sigma discrepancy between direct measurements of the Hubble constant in the local Universe and predictions of its value based on observations of the early Universe and the Lambda-CDM model. I will review the various techniques used to make these measurements, present recent results based on observations from JWST, and discuss possible solutions to this "tension".
