We review the properties and applications of
binary and millisecond pulsars. Our knowledge of these exciting
objects has greatly increased in recent years, mainly due to
successful surveys which have brought the known pulsar population
to over 1300. There are now 56 binary and millisecond pulsars in
the Galactic disk and a further 47 in globular clusters. This
review is concerned primarily with the results and spin-offs from
these surveys which are of particular interest to the relativity
community.
