The focus of this paper will be on three classes of high-temperature superconductors: (1) the new binary compound MgB2, (2) the alkali-doped fullerenes, and (3) the cuprate oxides. We will discuss results from experiment and theory which illustrate the kinds of vital information the high-pressure variable can give to help better understand these fascinating materials.To appear in the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Frontiers of High Pressure Research II: Application of High Pressure to Low-Dimensional Novel Electronic Materials, June 10-15, 2001, Pingree Park Campus, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado (H.D.
