Present knowledge and recent findings on neutron stars in supernova remnants (SNRs) are reviewed. The physics of the production of neutron stars by supernova explosions is briefly summarized, and the well-known Crab Nebula and Vela X SNRs are described. Three new discoveries of neutron stars associated with SNRs in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds are discussed. These discoveries support a model of Crablike remnants which assumes that the pulsar is surrounded by two envelopes: an outer shell of fast-moving material thrown out by the supernova and a more slowly moving layer of matter from its core.
