Just like light, gravitational waves (GWs) are deflected and magnified by the large-scale structure of the Universe. However, their unique features make GW lensing highly complementary to lensing of electromagnetic radiation. I will describe these features and the opportunities that strong lensing of GWs will open to probe the matter distribution, once detections by LISA and ground facilities are available. These observations will bring novel tests for many dark matter scenarios.
