List of compositions by Jean Sibelius

The following is a complete list of the orchestral works of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, as well as an incomplete list of works for chamber ensemble, solo piano, and voice. Primarily known for his compositions for orchestra, the core of Sibelius's oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies, the Violin Concerto, and a number of tone poems, in particular En saga, the Lemminkäinen Suite (which includes The Swan of Tuonela), Finlandia, Pohjola's Daughter, The Oceanides, and Tapiola. In addition, works such as the Karelia Suite, Valse triste, Kullervo, Luonnotar, Pelléas et Mélisande, The Tempest, and the String Quartet in D minor, Voces intimae have found favor with the public.

Over the course of his lifetime, Sibelius produced several catalogues of his works; the first dates to 1896 and the last to 1952. However, between inventories, Sibelius revised many of his early numbering decisions, omitted compositions from subsequent lists, and plugged holes with other pieces. As a result, Sibelius' opus numbers are uninformative in terms of compositional chronology and are thus ill-suited to the task of tracking his stylistic maturation over time; instead, opus numbers should be viewed as a record of Sibelius' ever-changing assessment of his output. For works without opus numbers, the convention is to follow the supplemental JS numbering system of Fabian Dahlström ().
