We present an overview of the statistical properties of turbulence in two-dimensional (2D) fluids. After a brief recapitulation of well-known results for statistically homogeneous and isotropic 2D fluid turbulence, we give an overview of recent progress in this field for such 2D turbulence in conducting fluids, fluids with polymer additives, binary-fluid mixtures, and superfluids; we also discuss the statistical properties of particles advected by 2D turbulent fluids.
