This is the discography of the German pop duo Modern Talking. The duo has released their material over two separate time periods—the first batch between 1984 and 1987, and then, after reuniting and making a successful comeback in 1998, between 1998 and 2003. Modern Talking's sound, however, was different after their reunion—they switched from their original 1980s mellow Europop sound to 1990s up-tempo Eurodance sound, which was in high demand in central Europe at the time.[citation needed]

Throughout their existence, Modern Talking have released 170 singles, 12 studio albums, 17 international compilation albums and two video albums.

Modern Talking's global sales, after the duo's second and final break-up in 2003, had reached 200 million singles and albums combined, making them the biggest-selling German music act in history.
