The Spitzer Space Telescope is currently surveying supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Magellanic Clouds with the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) and the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). This survey will dramatically advance our knowledge of both formation of dust in supernovae and destruction of dust in SNR blast waves. Our current understanding of these processes is poor, although they govern the interstellar dust lifecycle. The bulk of dust is best studied with MIPS, while IRAC probes small grains which are most susceptible to destruction. We will present preliminary results of this survey, consisting mostly of IRAC imaging at short infrared wavelengths. Among the sources for which we have obtained IRAC data are the young core-collapse remnant 0540-69.3, the Honeycomb SNR, and several that are probably remnants of Type Ia events. We will also present 25 micron MIPS images of three older LMC remnants: 0513-69.2, 0524-66.4, and 0527-65.8.
