Non–spherical dynamical models for galaxies, and the methods for their construction, are reviewed. The theory for two–integral axisymmetric models is reasonably well developed. Stäckel models give considerable insight in the structure of both three–integral axisymmetric models and non–rotating triaxial systems. Triaxial galaxies with appreciable figure rotation require much further study. Applications to elliptical galaxies and the bulges of disk galaxies are discussed.
