Formulas for calculating the degree of linear polarization of stellar radiation are obtained by making some general assumptions about the stellar surface brightness distribution. The degree of linear polarization is computed for radiation produced during accretion on to a strongly magnetized compact star, radiation from the optical component in a binary X-ray source, and radiation from magnetic as well as rapidly rotating stars. Polarization effects observed in radiation from the star R CrB are explained in terms of a nonuniform temperature distribution in the star's atmosphere.
