Measurements of charmed meson lifetimes are reviewed. Bare emulsion and track chamber experiments which indicated that charm lifetimes were of the order of 10/sup -13/ sec. are briefly discussed. Fitted decay events from four hybrid emulsion experiments giva lifetime velues of g/sub D/0 = .94 x 10/sup -13/ sec g/sub D+/ = 10.3 x 10/sup -13/ sec and t/sub F+/ = 2.0 x 10/sup -13/ sec.
