Depeche Mode have released fifty-seven music videos (not including remixed and edited versions), twelve music VHS/DVDs, and six DVD singles on Mute Records, Sire Records and Reprise Records.

Most of the group's early music videos were directed by Clive Richardson, Julien Temple and Peter Care. Following this period, Depeche Mode developed a working relationship with award-winning director and photographer Anton Corbijn, who has directed the majority of their videos since.
