The discography of singles, promo singles, remixes and Latin tracks for Cuban-American singer Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine consists of 50 singles (solo), 18 promotional singles (solo) and eight other guest or special appearance singles as a solo artist. Although Miami Sound Machine was no longer featured in the credits from 1989 onwards, they remain Estefan's backing group until this day, though none of the original members remain.

With a second decade of sizeable hits, Gloria continued her career as a solo artist. Her most successful songs being "Don't Wanna Lose You", Billboard number 1, "Get on Your Feet", "Conga", (with Miami Sound Machine) considered her signature song, "Here We Are", another top 10 hit, and "Coming Out of the Dark", yet another number-one hit for Estefan,

Her Latin career is as successful as her Anglo career. She has released many songs which were hits on the United States Latin radio stations. Estefan is the female artist with most number-one hits on the Hot Latin Songs chart of Billboard magazine, having a total of fourteen hits spending a combined forty weeks at number 1. Among the most successful Latin singles are: "Mi Tierra", "Si Voy a Perderte", "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan", "Abriendo Puertas", "Tres Deseos", "No Me Dejes de Querer" and "Tradición", which also became Gloria's first number-one hit on the Hot Dance Club Songs being the first song on Spanish language to do it so.

Miami Sound Machine was fronted by Gloria Estefan during 1977 through 1988. In the later years, releases were credited to just Estefan as a solo artist. None of the original members of the group currently perform with her.

In the early years, the band wasn't very successful globally because Estefan sang most of the songs in Spanish. The first single to make a sizeable dent in popularity was "Dr. Beat", a top 10 hit in the UK in 1984.

The group's breakthrough single in the US came in 1985 with the release of the lead single from their second studio-album Primitive Love. "Conga" made the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also a dance hit globally.

Other big singles came with the release of the group's third studio album, Let It Loose. This was not only their biggest-selling album, but included their first number-one song in many places. In the US, the band's fourth single, "Anything for You", became their first-number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. Another song, "Can't Stay Away From You", became a number-one hit in the Netherlands, their first-number one song outside the United States.

The band enjoyed continued success with their singles through their final release, "1-2-3", which was a top ten in the United States. Following that release, Gloria Estefan was credited on releases as a solo artist. Her backup group is still referred to as the Miami Sound Machine, however, none of the original members of the group currently perform with Estefan.
