The singles discography of Australian singer Kylie Minogue consists of ninety-six singles (including eight singles as a featured artist and nine charity singles) and twenty-four promotional recordings. Referred as the “Princess of Pop”[1][2][3] by various media outlets, she has sold more than 80 million records worldwide.[4][5] In Australia, she has a total of ten number-one singles, twenty-three top-ten hits and forty-seven top-forty entries. In the United Kingdom, with seven number-one singles, eleven singles that peaked at number two, thirty-five top-ten hits and fifty-two top-forty entries, she is the twelfth-best-selling singles artist and the third-best-selling female artist of all time to date, selling over 10.1 million singles.[6]

Minogue's music career began as a result of her popularity as a cast member in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. After an impromptu performance with the cast of the show, she signed to Mushroom Records in 1987 and released a cover of the song "Locomotion" as her debut single. It spent seven weeks on top of the ARIA Singles Chart and became the highest-selling single of the 1980s in Australia.[7] "I Should Be So Lucky", her second single, became a worldwide hit, topping the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks. Later, in 1988, she signed with PWL Records and based herself in the UK as a result. Her debut album, Kylie, produced several singles including a re-recorded version of "Locomotion", "Got to Be Certain" and "Je ne sais pas pourquoi". Her 1989 second album, Enjoy Yourself earned UK number-ones such as "Hand on Your Heart" and "Tears on My Pillow". Minogue took a more mature turn with the 1990 release of "Better the Devil You Know" from her third album Rhythm of Love. Her fourth album, 1991's Let's Get to It, spawned the single "Word Is Out", which became her first single to miss the top ten in the UK. By 1992, she had completed her recording contract with PWL Records and decided not to renew it, after the compilation album Greatest Hits was released, and produced the lead single, "What Kind of Fool (Heard All That Before)".

In 1993, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records. Her self-titled fifth studio album was released in 1994, along with the Australian number-one single "Confide in Me". Her 1997 seventh studio album, Impossible Princess, had all its singles fail to reach the top ten including the first single "Some Kind of Bliss". She was dropped by Deconstruction Records in 1998 due to low sales.

In 1999, Minogue signed with Parlophone Records. "Spinning Around", the lead single of her seventh studio album Light Years debuted at number one in the UK in 2000, making her the first female Australian singer to debut at number one in the UK.[8] In 2001, she released the worldwide hit single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head", from her eighth studio album Fever, topping the charts in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and several countries in Europe. The 2002 single, "Come into My World", gave Minogue her first Grammy Award in 2004 for Best Dance Recording. In 2003, the single "Slow", from her ninth studio album Body Language, became a number-one single in the UK. In 2004, her compilation album Ultimate Kylie was released, featuring the single "I Believe in You", which reached number two in the UK. Following her recovery after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, she released her tenth studio album X in 2007. It produced the Australian number-one single "2 Hearts". Her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite in 2010 spawned the UK top-three single, "All the Lovers". In 2014, she earned her final UK top-twenty single under Parlophone with "Into the Blue", taken from her twelfth studio album, Kiss Me Once. In 2015 and 2016, she released Christmas singles taken from her thirteenth studio album Kylie Christmas and its re-release, the Snow Queen Edition.

In 2017, Minogue signed with BMG Rights Management. Her fourteenth studio album, Golden was then released in 2018, with its lead single, "Dancing", her 51st top-forty single in the UK. In 2020, her fifteenth studio album, Disco was led by the single "Say Something". In 2023, the release of "Padam Padam", the lead single of her sixteenth studio album Tension, earned her a top-twenty, top-forty and top-ten entry in Australia, Belgium and Ireland respectively in five consecutive decades. In the UK, she became the only artist to achieve a top-ten hit from the 1980s to the 2020s, in a span of 35 years starting from her 1987 debut single in the country.[9]
