List of number-one hits of 1968 (Mexico)

This is a list of songs that reached number one in Mexico according to Billboard magazine (with data provided by Audiomusica[1]), and the Notitas Musicales magazine (with data provided by Núcleo Radio Mil, which would later provide data for Billboard as well).[2]

For unknown reasons (presumably Audiomusica's closure), the Billboard magazine did not feature any Mexican charts after the week of March 30, 1968, and only began to publish them again in March 1969 (by this time, they were using Núcleo Radio Mil as their source as well). For continuity reasons, the Notitas Musicales #1s are also included in this article.
