Stellar coronae in binary star systems offer both a puzzle and an opportunity. While one might expect that large magnetic loop structures on close binaries such as RS CVn systems and contact binaries would show evidence for interactions. While some radio studies support this scenario there is surprisingly little evidence from EUV and X-ray observations for differences between binary and single star systems. Meanwhile the binary systems offer observational opportunities through rotational modulation and eclipses of flaring and non-flaring regions. Localizing the sources of coronal emission is key to making the magnetic connection to the underlying photosphere. We discuss the structure of stellar coronae from the perspective of studies of binary systems.
