Search for New Neutral Bosons at Future Colliders

This is a short review of present and future limits on new neutral gauge bosons, in particular on hadrophilic or leptophobic $Z'$s recently proposed to interpret the observed fluctuations of $Γ_{c,b}$ at LEP. Light gauge bosons coupled to lepton number differences or to baryon number are also examples of the model dependence of these bounds. The mixing between the $U(1)$ factors plays an important role in the phenomenology of these extended electroweak models. Future improvements based on the analysis of precise electroweak data are emphasized.
