Planetary nebula are useful kinematic tracers of the stars in all galaxy
types. I review recent observationally-driven developments in the study of
galaxy mass profiles. These have yielded surprising results on spiral galaxy
disk masses and elliptical galaxy halo masses. A key remaining question is the
coupling between PNe and the underlying stellar populations.
