American singer Linda Ronstadt has recorded two video albums, appeared in 18 music videos, appeared in five films, appeared in 11 television programs and has made two stage appearances. Her first music videos appeared in 1982 with the singles "Get Closer", "Lies" and "Tell Him". Ronstadt's further 1980s solo singles like "What's New?" and "When You Wish Upon a Star" also were given their own music videos. Her collaborative singles were also given their own music videos, including "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) and "To Know Him Is to Love Him" (with Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton). The latter was directed by George Lucas. Further music videos of Ronstadt's work continued through the 1990s with her most recent being "After the Gold Rush". Additionally, two of Ronstadt's concert material was released as video albums during the 1980s.

Ronstadt made her first notable television appearances on Playboy After Dark and The Johnny Cash Show (both in 1969). Her first film appearance occurred in the 1978 movie FM. It would be followed by a film adaptation of The Pirates of Penzance in 1983. She also made four guest appearances on Saturday Night Live in the 1970s and 1980s. Ronstadt also was seen on both The Muppet Show and Sesame Street during the 1980s. During the same decade, Ronstadt made an appearance in the Broadway stage production of The Pirates of Penzance and La bohème. In more recent years, documentaries of her life have appeared including 2019's Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice.
