This is a list of home video releases of the television series Danger Mouse.

United Kingdom

FremantleMedia released six Region 0 DVDs in 2001–2003, featuring 6-8 random episodes in each set. In September 2006, Fremantle Media released a further six DVDs, making all episodes available on DVD, and a 25th Anniversary 12-Disc DVD box set. Although the box set received mostly positive reviews, some cited the lack of chronological order of the episodes as a disappointment. A 10-disc "30th Anniversary Edition" box set was released on 26 September 2011, with the episodes in original UK broadcast order. Both UK box sets contain all 161 episodes, but where some stories originally aired in five-minute segments, these have been edited together to make a total of 89 episodes. This means much of David Jason's 'cliffhanger' narration is not present on the UK DVDs.
