In this paper I shall review recent progress in our theoretical understanding of the solar tachocline. This layer of strong radial and latitudinal differential rotation at the base of the solar convection zone is believed to play a vital role in the generation of the solar magnetic field. I shall review the observations of the location, size and temporal variability of the tachocline, before discussing competing theories for its formation. I shall then describe possible instability mechanisms of the tachocline and its role in generating the Sun's magnetic field by dynamo action.
