The singles discography of American singer Linda Ronstadt contains 80 lead and collaborative singles, four as a featured artist, eight promotional singles and eight other charted songs. Her first credited release was 1967's "Different Drum", which also included the Stone Poneys along with Ronstadt as a featured artist. Ronstadt's first pair of solo singles were released by Capitol Records in 1969. The 1970 release "Long, Long Time" was her first solo charting single. Her 1974 single "You're No Good" topped the US Hot 100, reached number seven in Canada and number 15 in Australia. Its B-side song "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)" reached number two on the US Hot Country Songs list. It was followed by 1975's "When Will I Be Loved", which made the top ten on multiple charts in the United States and Canada, including topping their country surveys. It was followed by the US top five song "Heat Wave" and the US country top five song "Love Is a Rose".

The 1976 single "That'll Be the Day" made the US top 20 and reached the Canadian top five. "Crazy" (the B-side of "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me") reached the top ten on both the US and Canadian country charts. The 1977 single "Blue Bayou" reached the top five of multiple charts including the US Hot 100, the US country chart, the US adult contemporary chart, the Australian singles chart and the Canadian Top Songs chart. It also was her first to make the top 40 on the UK Singles Chart. It was followed by the US and Canadian top ten song "It's So Easy". In 1978, "Back in the U.S.A." made the US and Australian top 20, while "Ooh Baby Baby" made the US and Canadian top ten. The same year, "I Never Will Marry" (the B-side to "Tumbling Dice") made the US country top ten.

In 1980, both of Ronstadt's singles made the US top ten: "How Do I Make You" and "Hurt So Bad". In 1982, both "Get Closer" and "I Knew You When" made the US top 40. Between 1983 and 1984, the singles "Easy for You to Say", "What's New" and "I've Got a Crush on You" made top ten positions on the US and Canadian adult contemporary charts. A collaborative single with James Ingram titled "Somewhere Out There" made the top ten in the US, Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. A collaboration between Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton spawned four top ten US and Canadian country singles: "To Know Him Is to Love Him", "Telling Me Lies", "Those Memories of You" and "Wildflowers". In 1989, Ronstadt and Aaron Neville collaborated on the singles "Don't Know Much" and "All My Life". Both topped the US and Canadian adult contemporary charts, while also reaching top ten positions in Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

The 1990 singles "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby" and "Adios" made the US and Canadian adult contemporary top ten. The same year, Ronstadt was featured on Aaron Neville's charting single "Close Your Eyes". In 1992, both "Frenesi" and "Perfidia" were Ronstadt's first to reach the top ten on the US Latin Songs charts. Three more singles would also make the Latin chart. Between 1993 and 1995, the singles "The Blue Train", "Heartbeats Accelerating" and "Oh No Not My Baby" made top 40 positions in the US and Canada. The solo release "Walk On" and the collaborative release "High Sierra" made positions on the Canadian country chart. Among Ronstadt's final single releases was 2006's "Walk Away Renee" (with Ann Savoy) and a 2019 live promotional recording of "You're No Good".
