The following is a list of all episodes and mini-movies of Ninjago. The list also includes the movie adaptation of the television series. This list pays no mind to the canonicity of its content, listing it due to its connection to the franchise and not its place in the TV series' timeline.

A common misconception is that the pilot episodes and the mini-movies are Season 1, which is incorrect.
The pilot episodes were actually only aired as two full-length episodes on TV instead of being split into two or four smaller ones as they are on LEGO.com and on this wiki.
The last five episodes of Season 4, Tournament of Elements, were aired one day apart in a marathon known as the "Week of the Ninja" in the United States.
It seems that Tommy Andreasen considers the pilot episodes as episodes of the series overall, which could be because they are canon or just his personal opinion.[3]
