By observing the X-ray emission from young supernovae (SNe), key physical parameters such as the circumstellar matter density in the environment of each SN, the mass lost in the progenitor's stellar winds, and the temperature of the outgoing and reverse shock can be measured. As such, X-ray observations provide a unique tool to probe the environments and explosion physics of SNe. In this article I present a brief review of all X-ray observations of SNe obtained over the past three decades, with emphasis on recent observations, and discuss implications on our understanding of the physical processes giving rise to X-rays. Using the complete sample of all SNe detected in X-rays, a coherent picture emerges that shows a dependence of the progenitors mass loss rate and environment on the Type of SN.
