This is the discography of Northern Irish singer Van Morrison.

Morrison made his first recording playing saxophone on "Boozoo Hully Gully" with the International Monarchs in 1962.[1] His first recording session as lead singer/songwriter with Them was produced by Dick Rowe at Decca's studio. "Don't Start Crying Now" was the first single released and the garage rock classic, "Gloria" was also recorded at this session.[2] "Baby, Please Don't Go" (recorded October 1964) was released November 1964 with "Gloria" as the B-side and was a Top Ten hit in the UK Singles Chart.[3] "Here Comes the Night" was Them's second hit in 1965, charting at No. 2 in the UK and No. 24 in the US.[4]

Morrison had his first recording session as a solo artist for Bang Records in New York City for Bert Berns on 28 March 1967. One of the songs was "Brown Eyed Girl", which charted at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] By April 2008, he had been on the Billboard album chart a total of 787 weeks.[6]
