Montenegro issued its first stamps in 1874. This continued until 1918, when Kingdom of Montenegro joined the Kingdom of Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian Empire also issued its own stamps in the country during its occupation in 1917.

After the establishment of the Protectorate of Montenegro in 1941, issuing of stamps resumed until 1945. After 1945, Montenegro was a part of Yugoslavia.

Upon its independence in 2006, the country again resumed issuing its own stamps.
