  We discuss the prospects for indirect detection of dark matter (DM) with the
Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), a future ground-based gamma-ray observatory
that will be sensitive to gamma rays in the energy range from a few tens of GeV
to 100 TeV. We consider the detectability of DM annihilation in different
astrophysical targets with a focus on the Galactic Center (GC) region. With a
deep observation of the GC, CTA will be sensitive to DM particles with mass
greater than 100 GeV and an annihilation cross section close to the thermal
relic value.
