We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in R[superscript 3]. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all singularities and it plays an important role in studying generic mean curvature flow.
