Neutron capture processes are responsible for the astrophysical synthesis of the vast majority of nuclear species heavier than iron. Here we review the major neutron capture nucleosynthesis processes - the s, i, and r processes - and highlight how reductions in individual neutron capture rate uncertainties are crucial for our understanding of each process.
