Magnetic reconnection is responsible for many different solar phenomena and it is the release of magnetic energy through reconnection that is believed to (i) drive flares, (ii) generate CMEs, (III) heat the corona and (iv) generate MHD waves. In basic models of 2D magnetic reconnection, the particular choise of boundary conditions influences the form of reconnection obtained. Reconnection in 3D can occur with and without null points. Numerical experiments have attempted to investigate different types of reconnection but a basic understanding of reconnection at 3D magnetic null points is essential in understanding these fumdamental processes. The structure of magnetic regions depends on features such as the magnetic skeleton, the mull points, the spine and fan plane. Numerical simulations are important but, at present, are unable to fully resolve the reconnection region. Recent analytical and numerical results of 3D reconnection will be presented. Applications of reconnection in the solar atmosphere will be discussed also.
