[[File:Luna 3 moon.jpg|right|thumb|The first image returned by ''Luna 3'' showed the far side of the Moon]]
This is a list of robotic space probes that have flown by, impacted, orbited or landed on the [[Astronomy:Moon|Moon]] for the purpose of [[Astronomy:Exploration of the Moon|lunar exploration]], as well as probes launched toward the Moon that failed to reach their target.  <!-- Confirmed future probes are included, but missions that are still at the concept stage, or which never progressed beyond the concept stage, are not. -->

The crewed Apollo missions are listed at [[Astronomy:List of missions to the Moon|List of missions to the Moon]].

Major programs encompassing several probes include:
* Luna program — USSR Lunar exploration (1959–1976)
* [[Engineering:Ranger program|Ranger program]] — US Lunar hard-landing probes (1961–1965)
* [[Astronomy:Zond program|Zond program]] — USSR Lunar exploration (1964–1970)
* [[Astronomy:Surveyor program|Surveyor program]] — US Lunar soft-landing probe (1966–1968)
* [[Astronomy:Lunar Orbiter program|Lunar Orbiter program]] — US Lunar orbital (1966–1967)
* Lunokhod program — USSR Lunar Rover probes (1970–1973)

*<sup>†</sup> means "tentatively identified", as classified by NASA [http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/tent_launch.html]. These are Cold War-era Soviet missions, mostly failures, about which few or no details have been officially released. The information given may be speculative.{{Update after|2011|06|24}}<!--about fifteen years out of date, most of this information has now been released-->
*'''Date''' is the date of:
:* closest encounter (flybys)
:* impact (impactors)
:* orbital insertion to end of mission, whether planned or premature (orbiters)
:* landing to end of mission, whether planned or premature (landers)
:* launch (missions that never got underway due to failure at or soon after launch)
: In cases which do not fit any of the above, the event to which the date refers is stated. Note that as a result of this scheme missions are ''not'' always listed in order of launch.
* In the case of flybys (such as gravity assists) that are incidental to the main mission, "success" indicates the successful completion of the flyby, not necessarily that of the main mission.
