With the completion of the CMS measurements of the mass of the top quark from Run I of the LHC, it is a good time to review what has been learned and look forward to see what may be possible in the future. In this talk I will review the results obtained from both the direct and indirect analyses, and comment briefly on recent studies for the HL-LHC. With a current precision of 480 MeV, the results are already entering the regime of precision measurement. For the HL-LHC, it looks possible to improve this further to reach a precision of better than 200 MeV.
