The music for the 2013 action-adventure video game Grand Theft Auto V, developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games, was composed by German electronic music group Tangerine Dream, American composer Woody Jackson, and American hip hop musicians The Alchemist and Oh No.

The game's music has been released on five official soundtracks: The Music of Grand Theft Auto V, released alongside the initial launch of the game, consists of three volumes comprising the score, and selections from the in-game radio; The Cinematographic Score — GTA 5, an electronic album released in March 2014, comprises tracks composed and produced by Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese; Welcome to Los Santos, released with the Windows version of the game, features songs from the in-game radio station "The Lab", produced by The Alchemist and Oh No; Grand Theft Auto Online: Arena War (Official Soundtrack), released in March 2019, features music by Health for the Grand Theft Auto Online expansion Arena War; and DāM-FunK Presents The Music of Grand Theft Auto Online Original Score, released in December 2023, is a collection of music from Grand Theft Auto Online produced by Dam-Funk.

A series of singles from the Grand Theft Auto Online expansions The Cayo Perico Heist and The Contract were released in December 2020 and February 2022, respectively.

[1] Music supervisor Ivan Pavlovich summarised the original score idea as "daunting", because it was unprecedented for a Grand Theft Auto game.

[5] The team of producers collaborated over several years to create more than twenty hours of music that scores both the game's missions and dynamic gameplay throughout the single-player and multiplayer modes.

Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream's founding member, initially rejected the offer of producing music for a video game.

[2] He recorded with Tangerine Dream in Austria but further work was conducted at Jackson's United States studio, which The Alchemist and Oh No used as well.

[3] Jackson's initial role was to provide score for Trevor's missions, and he took influence from artists such as The Mars Volta and Queens of the Stone Age.

The iconographic introduction of Los Santos early in the game, for example, inspired him to "create a smooth West Coast vibe that embodied" the city.

[4] The Rockstar team wanted to synergise the game world's depiction of California with the radio stations by licensing tracks that imparted an appropriate "Cali feel".

[8] Some tracks were written specifically for the game, such as rapper and producer Flying Lotus' original work composed for the FlyLo FM station he hosts.

[3] The Music of Grand Theft Auto V was released digitally on 24 September 2013, in three volumes, including an original score composed for the game in addition to selections from songs that were licensed for the in-game radio.

[11] The staff at Edge wrote that the licensed music "enrich[es] Los Santos' already remarkable sense of space" and considered that the original score enhanced the atmosphere of the gameplay,[12] retrospectively noting"...it's only in replaying GTAV's missions that you come to appreciate the complexity and power of [Rockstar's] bespoke, dynamic score, whose rhythms do so much to achieve that age-old videogame goal of creating the sensation of playing a movie.

[15] Keza MacDonald of IGN commented that the licensed music had been selected well, and agreed that the original score "builds tension" on missions.

[24] Pitchfork Media's Clayton Purdom praised the album's variety of artists and genres, calling it "music blooming out of a club you are supposed to want to go into".

[27][28] Notes Grand Theft Auto Online: Arena War (Official Soundtrack) is a soundtrack album by American noise rock band Health consisting of original music from the Arena War DLC for the multiplayer mode Grand Theft Auto Online.

[29] All tracks are composed and produced by Jacob Duzsik and John Famiglietti, except for "Slaves Of Fear (Arena War Remix)", written by Jacob Duzsik, John Famiglietti and Lars Stalfors, produced by Stalfors, with additional production by Dave Cerminara and Stint.

[30] On December 18, 2020, three singles were released by Rockstar alongside the Grand Theft Auto Online update The Cayo Perico Heist.

The soundtrack consists of a wide variety of radio stations that play different genres of music, including reggae, hip hop, hardcore punk, pop and country.
