1. '''''~~4000 Degrees Kelvin~~''''' - 1:01

1. '''''Subject Name Here''''' - 1:44

2. '''''Android Hell''''' - 3:45

A pulsing track riddled with high pitched beeps. Plays when the player acquires the [[Portal gun|Dual Portal Device]] that can shoot both blue and orange portals, in Test Chamber 11. The "subject name here" line is heard during Test Chamber 06. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

2. '''''Taste of Blood''''' - 3:06

A nostalgic track with hints of melancholy that plays when the player first encounters the [[Portal gun]], which only shoots blue portals. The "taste of blood" line is heard during the same chamber. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

3. '''''Android Hell''''' - 3:45

A soaring ambient synth track that plays first in Test Chamber 13, and again in the large room of Test Chamber 18 containing turrets. The "android hell" line is heard during Test Chamber 16. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

3. '''''~~No Cake For You~~''''' - 4:05

4. '''''Self Esteem Fund''''' - 3:30

~~{{youtube|GQghP9UGm2A|audio=yes}}~~

Arguably the most melancholic song on the soundtrack, this lamenting track plays in Test Chambers 10 and 14. The "self esteem fund" line is heard during Test Chamber 15. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

4. ~~'''''Party Escort''''' - 4:21~~

5. '''''Procedural Jiggle Bone''''' - 4:34

A wobbly, otherworldly ambient synth track that plays on Portal's main menu and during Test Chambers

8 and 19. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

6. '''''~~Self Esteem Fund~~''''' - 3:30

6. '''''No Cake For You''''' - 4:05

A slightly creepy, hopeless track that plays in Test Chamber 16's Ratman den. Throughout the track, high pitched radio transmission-like beeps and rythmic, water-like synth bells can be heard. Composed by Mike Morasky.

7. '''''~~Still Alive~~''''' - 2:56

7. '''''4000 Degrees Kelvin''''' - 1:01

A dramatic, chaotic track that plays [[GLaDOS]] attempts to incinerate the player by lowering them into the fire pit on the [[Unstationary Scaffold]] at the end of Test Chamber 19. Composed by Kelly Bailey.

8. '''''Stop What You Are Doing''''' - 4:00

A creepy ambient track that plays during the protagonists' escape as they traverse through the dilapidated maintenance areas and offices of the Enrichment Center. Composed by Mike Morasky.

9. '''''~~Subject Name Here~~''''' - 1:44

9. '''''Party Escort''''' - 4:21

A soft, synth-filled ambient track that plays during the protagonist's first encounter with the [[Rocket Turret]]. Composed by Mike Morasky.

10. '''''~~Taste of Blood~~''''' - 3:06

* The high-pitched ringing heard throughout the song ''may'' represent the Rocket Turret's aiming laser. This, however, is unconfirmed by Morasky.

10. '''''You're Not a Good Person''''' - 1:24

An intense percussive track that plays during the turret ambush towards the end of the protagonist's escape. Composed by Mike Morasky.

11. '''''You Can't Escape, You Know''''' - 6:24

Plays during the final battle with GLaDOS, as [[neurotoxin]] flows into the [[Central AI Chamber]]. Composed by Mike Morasky.

~~12. '''''You're Not a Good Person''''' - 1:24~~

~~{{youtube|pUNzXZZ_lA8|audio=yes}}~~

12. '''''Still Alive''''' - 3:05

The acclaimed end credits theme of Portal, written by Jonathan Coulton and sung by [[Ellen McLain]] as GLaDOS.
