This is a discography for the English alternative rock singer Morrissey. Since The Smiths disbanded in 1987 he has released nine studio albums, two live albums, ten compilation albums, one extended play (EP), thirty-eight singles and six video albums on HMV, Sire Records, Parlophone, Polydor, RCA Victor, Mercury Records, Sanctuary Records, EMI, Reprise Records, Rhino and Decca Records.

Morrissey's first two solo singles –"Suedehead" and "Everyday Is Like Sunday" – released in early 1988 both reached the UK Top 10, whilst his debut album, Viva Hate (1988), from which they were taken was also successful, reaching the top spot on the UK Albums Chart. From 1989 to 1991 he released five non-album singles which all made the UK Top 20. His second album, Kill Uncle (1991), also reached the UK Top 10; whilst his next four singles – two which were taken from Kill Uncle and two non-album singles – only reached the lower end of the UK Top 40. His third album, Your Arsenal (1992), again reached the UK Top 10. In 1992 five singles were released from Your Arsenal, the first three being released globally and two only in the United States. Having used different producers for his first three albums, Morrissey then teamed up with Steve Lillywhite for his next three – Vauxhall and I (1994), Southpaw Grammar (1995) and Maladjusted (1997). Vauxhall and I was another successful album, being Morrissey's second to reach the top of the UK Albums Chart. Southpaw Grammar and Maladjusted were also successful, both reaching the UK Top 10. Morrissey released 11 singles during this time, one of which – 1994's "Interlude" – was a duet with English singer Siouxsie Sioux. Of these singles only two broke the UK Top 20 – "The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get" (1994), which reached number eight in the UK and number 46 on Billboard magazine's Hot 100, and "Alma Matters", which reached number 16.

After a nearly seven-year hiatus, Morrissey released his seventh solo album You Are the Quarry (2004), which reached number two on the UK Albums Chart; it was also his most successful album in the United States where it reached number 11 on the Billboard 200. The four singles taken from You Are the Quarry were also successful, all reaching the UK Top 10. Morrissey's eighth album, Ringleader of the Tormentors (2006), became his third album to reach the top of the UK Albums Chart. Four singles were released from Ringleader of the Tormentors – the first reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and the others reached the UK Top 20. You Are the Quarry and Ringleader of the Tormentors were also successful in a number of European countries and they both reached the top of the Swedish Albums Chart. Two more singles were released in 2008, one of which reached the UK Top 20. Morrissey's latest album, Years of Refusal, was released in February 2009, and reached number three in the UK and number eleven in the United States. Two more singles were released from this, one of which charted in the UK Top 40.
