Superconducting dipoles, quadrupoles, and correction magnets are necessary to achieve the high magnetic fields required for large accelerators now in construction or in the design phase. Different designs of superconducting accelerator magnets are described, and the designs chosen at the big accelerator laboratories are presented. The most frequently used cos {Theta} coil configuration is discussed in detail. Approaches are presented for calculating the quality of magnetic fields, including coil end fields. Design details are given for the cables, coils, mechanical structures, yokes, helium vessels, and cryostats, including thermal radiation shields and support structures used in superconducting magnets. Necessary material properties are mentioned. Finally, the main results of magnetic field measurements and quench statistics are presented.
