I am wondering if there is any tool that can help me work with tables in LaTeX. Specifically I'd like to be able to import HTML tables (or small Excel tables) into LateX
Are there tools that can help me do that painlessly?

Bear in mind that properly formatted tables for publication are not the same as the sort of thing that Excel, etc., produce. So even if you can import stuff quickly you may well have to work on the appearance.

I think that, if you are able to import your html tables in Excel or OpenOffice Calc, these tools are what you need:
Excel2LaTeX for MSExcel
Calc2LaTeX for OO Calc (this one is my preferred, guess why ;)
The first one is a macro you add to your Excel, and provides you with an extra button to create the LaTeX code for the table from a set of selected cells, ready to be pasted in your .tex source.
The second, is an extension of OO, but should work in the same way.
Edit: there is also html2LaTeX, but I never used it.
Happy TeXing!
I have started a comprehensive list -- do you want to add a description of Calc2LaTeX, especially comparing it to current Excel2LaTeX?

Check out this page http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/datatool.html and tools it links ie csvtools
and pgfplotstable
. They allow you to keep the data in csv or tsv format and configure typesetting options in .tex source. I have used pgfplotstable and it is very handy.

This is a good alternative to directly importing the data, particularly for large data sets or ones that will change over time.

I agree: CSVtools is very powerful and it's worth considering the csv way against the conversion from excel to the latex code, especially for large amount of data. In case of small tables, converting from excel could be more convenient.

If you use TeXShop on the Mac, there is a built-in macro for pasting copied spreadsheet cells directly into your latex sources into a variety of popular table formats. The same scripts are also available for other Mac text editors here: csv2latex. (OB Disclaimer: I am the author.)

Nowadays, I create most of my tables as Pandoc Markdown pipe tables, which are very intuitive to create. Pandoc then converts to LaTeX, ConTeXt,…

As long as you can transform the table you want to import to one of the formats that Python pandas
module reads or you can read it in in Python and use tabulate
module to output the properly LaTeX-formatted table which could be a good starting point.
- Recipes from this StackOverflow question can be a good starting point if you do not know Python
Fixed now. Thank you for spotting this!

Calc2LaTeX is the best option as said above, but if you're constantly switching computers or on a mac (I regularly do both), then an online editor is a good option.
I have found http://www.tablesgenerator.com/latex_tables# is the best online editor, as efinal recommended, because it also converts &
%
to &
%
straightforwardly, which http://truben.no/latex/table/ doesn't, as far as I can tell. The Truben Table Editor was no good to me as the paste command simply pasted an entire table into one cell, fustratingly.

If you use TexStudio, there is a wizard for tabular, looks like
Indeed TeXStudio has the wizard, but apparently it does not provide the feature of importing tables of different nature (as the question asks)

CALS tables
Perhaps you will feel more comfortable defining tables in CALS syntax immediately in LaTeX.
The CALS table model is the historic precursor of the HTML table model. It is easier in use and offers more capabilities than tabularx
.
Here is the documentation of the cals
package:

As long as you can transform the table you want to import to one of the formats that Python pandas
module reads or you can read it in in Python and use tabulate
module to output the properly LaTeX-formatted table which could be a good starting point.
- Recipes from this StackOverflow question can be a good starting point if you do not know Python
Fixed now. Thank you for spotting this!

Calc2LaTeX is the best option as said above, but if you're constantly switching computers or on a mac (I regularly do both), then an online editor is a good option.
I have found http://www.tablesgenerator.com/latex_tables# is the best online editor, as efinal recommended, because it also converts &
%
to &
%
straightforwardly, which http://truben.no/latex/table/ doesn't, as far as I can tell. The Truben Table Editor was no good to me as the paste command simply pasted an entire table into one cell, fustratingly.

If you use TexStudio, there is a wizard for tabular, looks like
Indeed TeXStudio has the wizard, but apparently it does not provide the feature of importing tables of different nature (as the question asks)

Bear in mind that properly formatted tables for publication are not the same as the sort of thing that Excel, etc., produce. So even if you can import stuff quickly you may well have to work on the appearance.
