In the two decades since the appearance of the book “Bose-Einstein Condensation” in 1995, there have been a number of developments in our understanding of dense matter. After a brief overview of neutron star structure and the Bose-Einstein condensed phases that have been proposed, we describe selected topics, including neutron and proton pairing gaps, the physics of the inner crust of neutron stars, where a neutron fluid penetrates a lattice of nuclei, meson condensates, and pairing in dense quark matter. Especial emphasis is placed on basic physical effects and on connections to the physics of cold atomic gases.
