American singer-songwriter Madonna has written and recorded songs that have never been released commercially. This list encompasses Madonna's studio-quality recordings that were never put on sale legally, documented demo versions of songs not released in any form, as well as early demo versions of released songs where there is a substantial difference to the released versions (such as completely different melody). Many of Madonna's unreleased songs have been registered to professional bodies such as the United States Copyright Office and American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Before achieving superstardom, Madonna has created many demos either solo or with her rock bands, the Breakfast Club and Emmy. According to Stephen Bray, Madonna had already written 12-14 songs when he showed up to join Emmy as the drummer. Some of these early recordings have surfaced on various bootleg releases of varying quality. Several unreleased songs had been planned for inclusion on her fourteen studio albums and three soundtrack albums. Some songs appeared on the film and television, such "I Surrender Dear" from the film Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989) or "Wonderland" from ABC-TV drama series Wonderland (2000), but they were never released commercially. Many of Madonna's unreleased songs have leaked onto the internet. In 2017, "Two Steps Behind Me", an unreleased song from Rebel Heart sessions, was illegally released on iTunes and charted inside its Top 50 in eight countries.

Some of Madonna's unreleased song were shared by theirs producers, such as Patrick Leonard who uploaded "Angels with Dirty Faces", an unreleased demo from Like a Prayer, on YouTube. Previously, Stephen Bray released an album of Madonna's early demos, titled Pre-Madonna, independently in 1996. Some of Madonna's unreleased demos were given to other artists. "Each Time You Break My Heart", an unreleased song intended for True Blue, was given to Nick Kamen and turned into a top-ten hit in many European countries. Gary Barlow recorded "Love Won't Wait", an unreleased material from Bedtime Stories sessions, and made it a UK number-ones single.
