List of compositions by Louis Couperin
This article presents a list of compositions by Louis Couperin.
Harpsichord music
Couperin's harpsichord music was catalogued by musicologist Bruce Gustafson. The same numbering scheme is used in the 1985 Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre edition, as well as in the first complete harpsichord works recording, by Davitt Moroney. The Baroque suite was not codified at the time, so French dances are found in manuscripts grouped by tonality. This approach is used here, as well, with some deviations reflecting the diverse nature of the sources.| Gustafson Number | Genre | Title | Key | Sample performances |

Organ music
The vast majority of Couperin's organ pieces—the contents of the so-called Oldham manuscript—were unknown until 1957, and remained unpublished until 2003. The numbering in the following list is derived from the Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre edition, the only available as of 2016. Many of the pieces in the Oldham manuscript are inscribed with the date of composition and/or the composer's name; these notices are reproduced here to facilitate navigation. The order of the pieces is similar to the one in the Oldham manuscript modern edition.- Duretez Fantaisie
