The study of dark matter with LSST presents a small experimental program with a short timescale and low cost that is guaranteed to provide critical information about the fundamental nature of dark matter over the next decade. -LSST will produce high-impact science on fundamental dark matter physics by exploiting an existing US facility. +LSST will rapidly produce high-impact science on fundamental dark matter physics by exploiting an existing US facility. The study of dark matter with LSST explores dark matter parameter space beyond the high-energy physics program's current sensitivity, while being highly complementary to other experimental searches. % BRN text. This has been recognized during the Snowmass Cosmic Frontier planning process \citep[\eg,][]{1305.1605, 1310.8642, 1310.5662} and in a series of more recent Cosmic Visions reports \citep[\eg,][]{1604.07626,1802.07216}, including the ``New Ideas in Dark Matter 2017:\ Community Report'' \citep{1707.04591}. It is worth remembering that astrophysical probes provide the only constraints on the minimum and maximum mass-scale of dark matter, and it is likely that astrophysical observations will continue to guide the experimental particle physics program for years to come.
