EPs
Colgems Records did not release extended-play records for the mass market, but this list includes the two "little LP" versions of the Monkees' first two albums for use in jukeboxes. Internationally, RCA issued many EPs. This list includes those released in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Mexico during the Colgems era, where they were most popular. This list also includes EPs released in the UK in the 1980s, some of which charted; American 3-inch CDs released by Arista Records; and EPs issued by Rhino Records expanding on their final two albums.
EPs are listed by their title in italics. Untitled EPs are listed by their leading track without italics.

Singles
The following table includes all major singles released in the United States, including the 12 issued by Colgems Records from 1966–70; the 1971 Bell single "Do It in the Name of Love"; two Dolenz, Jones, Boyce & Hart singles released on Columbia Records; the Christmas singles released in 1976 and 2018; the two charting Arista singles released in conjunction with the 1986 compilation album Then & Now... The Best of The Monkees; both Rhino singles released in conjunction with the 1987 album Pool It!; and the three digital singles issued in conjunction with Good Times! in 2016. While none of the tracks from the 1967 album Headquarters were issued as singles in North America, "Randy Scouse Git" was widely released elsewhere (often under the title 'Alternate Title'). RCA issued a large number of other singles internationally that were not released in the United States. This table only includes some noteworthy charting singles released in Europe, Japan, and Australia. A number of EPs charting as singles, non-charting reissues, withdrawn singles, cereal box records, archival recordings, and single-like novelties are not included.
