The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is an array of four 12m diameter imaging Cherenkov telescopes located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona. Gamma-ray observations of blazars in the GeV-TeV energy range can be used to probe the structure and composition of their jets, constrain the intensity and spectrum of the extragalactic background light (EBL), and contribute to our understanding of how supermassive black holes accrete matter. Here we report on recent gamma-ray observations of several blazars with VERITAS.
