The potential of muon colliders to address fundamental physics issues is explored, with emphasis on understanding the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. The {ital s}-channel production of Higgs bosons, unique to a muon collider, along with precision measurements of W{sup +}W{sup {minus}}, t{bar t}, and {ital Zh} thresholds would determine the properties of Higgs bosons and test electroweak radiative corrections. At the high energy frontier, a 4 TeV muon collider is ideally suited to study either the production of supersymmetric scalar particles or a strongly interacting {ital WW} sector. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
