  Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the most relevant scenarios of new physics
searched by the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In this
writeup the principal search strategies employed by ATLAS are outlined and the
most recent results for analyses targeting SUSY discovery are discussed. A wide
range of signatures is covered motivated by various theoretical scenarios and
topologies: strong production, third-generation fermions, long-lived particles
and R-parity violation, among others. The results are based on up to ~5 fb-1 of
data recorded during 2010-2011 at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy by the
ATLAS experiment at the LHC.
