Sumario:While a plethora of convincing astrophysical evidence indicates the existence of some non-baryonic form of 'dark' matter, this mysterious constituent of our Universe evades detection. If dark matter has some form of weak interaction with visible particles, there is a chance that it could be produced at colliders, such as the LHC, at a measurable rate. Collider experiments, alongside direct and indirect detection experiments, aim to detect non-gravitational interactions of dark matter, or else provide complementary constraints on the current dark matter models. This contribution gives an overview of the most recently published dark matter search results from the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations.
