I review recent progress in exclusive semileptonic $B$ decays from lattice QCD, including $B\to \pi \ell nu$, $B_s\to K\ell\nu$ and $B_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}^{(\ast)}\ell \nu$ channels. I focus on lattice results that have appeared since the last CKM Workshop, and briefly discuss updates to the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$, and the ratios $R(D_{(s)})$. I also outline progress we can hope to expect by future installments of the CKM Workshop.
