This is a list of compositions by the Cuban composer and guitarist Leo Brouwer. Given the prominence of the instrument in Brouwer's oeuvre, his works for guitar solo, guitar ensembles, as well as guitar concertos, are all placed in a separate category. However, pieces which include guitar as part of a mixed ensemble, and ones for guitar and tape, are placed into the chamber music category.
