This article presents the discography of German singer Sandra.

After enjoying some success as a lead singer of the disco trio Arabesque, Sandra began performing solo, with Michael Cretu as manager, producer and composer of her first international #1 hit-single "(I'll Never Be) Maria Magdalena" in 1985. Sandra (with her unique high-pitched vocals) has topped the charts from as far afield as Sweden, Egypt, France, South Africa, Israel, Japan and Brazil with 18 top 20 hits from 1985 - 1992. She still remains very popular in Europe, being considered one of the most popular singers of the 1980s in mainland Europe and is also well loved in the gay community. Sandra is still actively recording new material, and has blossomed into a talented songwriter.
