The theme music, written by [[Jerry Goldsmith]], changed slightly each season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.manfromuncle.org/sound.htm |title=U.N.C.L.E. - The Soundtrack |publisher=Manfromuncle.org |access-date=2011-03-05}}</ref> Goldsmith provided only three original scores and was succeeded by [[Morton Stevens]], who composed four scores for the series. After Stevens, [[Walter Scharf]] did six scores, and [[Lalo Schifrin]] did two.

[[Gerald Fried]] was composer from season two through the beginning of season four, and rearranged the theme twice. The final composers were [[Robert Drasnin]], [[Nelson Riddle]], and lastly Richard Shores. Drasnin also scored episodes of ''[[Mission: Impossible (1966 TV series)|Mission: Impossible]]'', as did Schifrin, Scharf, and Fried. Riddle's score for the two-part episode "The Concrete Overcoat Affair" was so loathed by executive producer Norman Felton that he never hired the composer again, although the music did get tracked into other third-season episodes and the film version.

The music reflected the show's changing seasons. Goldsmith, Stevens, and Scharf composed dramatic scores in the first season using brass, unusual time signatures and martial rhythms. Gerald Fried and Robert Drasnin opted for a lighter approach in the second, employing jazz flute, harpsichords and bongos. By the third season, the music, like the show, had become more camp, exemplified by a faster R&B organ and saxophone riff version of the theme. The fourth season's attempt at seriousness was duly echoed by Richard Shores' somber scores.
