This is a list of official Dungeons & Dragons adventures published by Wizards of the Coast as separate publications. It does not include adventures published as part of supplements, officially licensed Dungeons & Dragons adventures, official d20 System adventures and other Open Game License adventures that may be compatible with Dungeons & Dragons.

Officially published adventures from before 3rd edition are often called modules. For a list of published modules from before 3rd Edition Adventures, see List of Dungeons & Dragons modules. For description and history of Adventures/Modules, see Adventure (D&D). For adventures set in the Forgotten Realms setting, see the List of Forgotten Realms modules and sourcebooks.

3rd edition

The adventures listed here are official Wizards of the Coast Dungeons & Dragons 3/3.5 adventures only. The first 3rd Edition adventure module published (not counting OGL/d20 STL modules) was The Sunless Citadel, in 2000.
