This is an incomplete list of works by the French artist Marcel Duchamp (28 July 1887 – 2 October 1968), painter, sculptor, chess player, and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, conceptual art, and Dada.[1][2][3]

Duchamp is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.[4][5][6][7]

The Complete Works of Marcel Duchamp, a catalogue raisonné by Arturo Schwarz, last updated in 1997, lists 663 works. This number, however, includes many studies and other preparatory works, as well as works in which Duchamp was involved but not the primary creator, such as photographs taken of him. His oeuvre includes diverse types of artworks, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, found objects ("readymades"), assemblage, boxes, and installation art.
