Let X be a nonsingular algebraic variety in characteristic zero. To an effective divisor on X Kontsevich has associated a certain 'motivic integral', living in a completion of the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties. He used this invariant to show that birational Calabi-Yau varieties have the same Hodge numbers. Then Denef and Loeser introduced the motivic (Igusa) zeta function, associated to a regular function on X, which specializes to both the classical p-adic Igusa zeta function and the topological zeta function, and also to Kontsevich's invariant. This paper treats a generalization to singular varieties. Batyrev already considered such a 'Kontsevich invariant' for log terminal varieties (on the level of Hodge polynomials instead of in the Grothendieck ring), and previously we introduced a motivic zeta function on normal surface germs. Here on any Q-Gorenstein variety X we associate a motivic zeta function and a 'Kontsevich invariant' to effective Q-Cartier divisors on X whose support contains the singular locus of X.
