Barenaked Ladies discography

The discography of Canadian alternative rock band Barenaked Ladies consists of 11 primary studio albums, three themed studio albums, 41 singles, two live albums, two greatest hits compilations, and three video releases. This list does not include material recorded by band members individually or with other side projects.

Barenaked Ladies was formed in 1988 by Steven Page and Ed Robertson, both singer-songwriter guitarists. Andy and Jim Creeggan joined the group on percussion and bass respectively approximately a year later. In mid-1990, Tyler Stewart joined the band as drummer with Andy Creeggan shifting to keyboards after returning from an exchange trip. Andy Creeggan left the band before the mid-1995 sessions for its third album (recorded as a four-piece). He was replaced by Kevin Hearn in early 1996. The band's lineup remained unchanged until Page left the band in early 2009. They have sold at least 15 million records including albums and singles.

A compilation of 12 unreleased demos, b-sides, remixes and live recordings from 1992 to 2003 was released May 8, 2012.

Live albums
Barenaked Ladies has three true commercial live album releases. The band has also recorded and released many of their regular concerts for their fans both digitally and in directly retailed physical media (CDs and flash drives), though these are typically mixed live during the show and are released as-is. Some of these concert recordings have become available in through some commercial retailers in both digital and CD form, though these are not considered a part of the band's primary discography. Similarly, a compilation of these live tracks, released in 2006 as part of the Extended Versions album series, is not considered a part of the band's primary discography.

Collaboration albums
Barenaked Ladies collaborated with New York a cappella group The Persuasions in October 2016. During the 2 day session, they recorded 15 songs that would later become a collaboration album, titled Ladies and Gentlemen: Barenaked Ladies and The Persuasions. The album was released April 14, 2017.
