We present an overview of recent observations of stellar X-ray flares obtained with the EXOSAT Observatory. We discuss a few examples of flares from M dwarf flare stars, from RS CVn and Algol-type binaries, from single late-type stars (including a G0 dwarf and an A-type visual binary), and from pre-main-sequence objects. We also draw some general conclusions from the pieliminary analysis of the EXOSAT data sample.
