This is a list of works by the French composer Hector Berlioz. It includes his literary works as well as his music. The musical compositions are arranged by both opus number and genre. (Note: many of Berlioz's works resist easy categorisation and assigning them to a genre is often impossible. The genres given below should be regarded as merely a guideline).
