The discography of the Sanremo Music Festival winners includes all the winning singles of the annual Festival della Canzone Italiana, an Italian song contest better known as the Sanremo Music Festival, held in the Ligurian city of the same name since 1951 and broadcast by RAI. As of 2017, the Festival has awarded 67 songs, but from 1953 to 1955, from 1957 to 1971, in 1990 and in 1991, each entry was performed by two different acts, resulting in two different releases for each winning song, for a total of 87 singles.

Between 1959, when the first singles chart was introduced in Italy, and 1996, 21 Sanremo Music Festival winning songs reached the top spot of the Musica e dischi Singles Chart. In the following years, eight other winning singles topped the official chart compiled by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry since 1997. Some of the winning songs of the Sanremo Music Festival became international hits after being performed at the Eurovision Song Contest, like Domenico Modugno's "Nel blu dipinto di blu", which took third place in the 1958 contest, and Gigliola Cinquetti's "Non ho l'età", which won the European competition in 1964.
