The possibility that Lorentz violation offers a signature of Planck-scale physics has motivated recent experimental searches. At accessible energy scales any effects must be described by the Standard-Model Extension (SME). In this talk, I focus on the gravitational sector of the SME. Dominant solar-system effects are discussed in the context of a post-Newtonian expansion.
