This is the discography of the German synthpop duo Modern Talking. The duo has released their materials over a period of two separate timetables, first between 1984-1987, then the duo found itself reunified in 1998 and made a successful comeback releasing another batch of materials between 1998-2003. Modern Talking's sound; however, was different from their original 1980s sound after their reunion. The duo came back in 1998 switching from their original 1980s mellow Europop sound to 1990s up-tempo Eurodance sound, which was in high demand in central Europe at the time.

Modern Talking, throughout their existence, have released 20 singles, 12 studio-albums, 17 international compilation-albums and two video albums containing their hit-videos.

Global sales of Modern Talking, after the duo's second and final break-up in 2003, had reached 120 million singles and albums combined, making them the biggest-selling German music act in history.
