Stripped-envelope supernovae (SNe), i.e., those of Type Ib, Ic, and IIb, arise from massive progenitor stars which have had most or all of their outer hydrogen-rich layers removed before explosion by some process, either through a strong stellar wind or through binary mass transfer. The connection between some long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and broad-lined Type Ic SNe makes a broader discussion of stripped-envelope SNe and their environments particularly relevant. If the SN progenitor itself cannot be directly identified, it is possible that examination of its immediate environment can provide some insight into the nature of the progenitor. It is also possible that revisiting the SN site sufficiently late enough after explosion could reveal the presence of a binary companion. I will present high-spatial-resolution observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope of the sites and environments of stripped-envelope supernovae, and I will discuss the implications of the resulting analysis. I will include here, e.g., the environments of the recent SN 2011dh, SN 2012au, SN 2013df, SN 2013dk, and iPTF13bvn.
