Highlights from recent computations in lattice QCD involving baryons are presented. Calcula tions of the proton mass and spin decompositions are discussed, a percent level determination of the nucleon axial coupling is described, and determinations of the proton and neutron electromagnetic form factors and light-cone parton distribution functions are outlined. Recent results applying the so-called Luscher method to meson-baryon systems are presented. Key points emphasized are that much better precision with disconnected diagrams is being achieved, incorporating multi-hadron operators is now feasible, and more and more studies are being done with physical quark masses.
