In this article, we apply the concept of fuzzy soft
δ
-open sets to define new types of compactness in fuzzy soft topological spaces, namely,
δ
-compactness and
δ
∗
-compactness. We explore some of their basic properties and reveal the relationships between these types and that which are defined by other authors. Also, we show that
δ
∗
-compactness is more general than that which is presented in other papers. To clarify the obtained results and relationships, some illustrative examples are given.
