This is a discography of Foo Fighters, an American alternative rock band formed in 1995 by Dave Grohl. As of 2008, Foo Fighters consists of Grohl (vocals and guitar), Taylor Hawkins (drums), Nate Mendel (bass) and Chris Shiflett (guitar). The band have released six studio albums, two extended plays (EPs), three video albums and twenty-eight singles. This list does not include solo material released by members of Foo Fighters.

The band's debut album Foo Fighters (1995) peaked at number twenty-three on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum in the United States. Their follow-up The Colour and the Shape (1997) charted higher, reaching number ten on the Billboard 200, and went platinum in the US, Australia and Canada. The "Everlong" single from the album was certified gold in the US. There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999) was again certified platinum in the US, Australia and Canada. "Learn to Fly" was the band's first single to peak at number one. Foo Fighters' fourth album One by One (2002) was their first to top the charts in the United Kingdom and Australia. In 2003, the band released their first video album, Everywhere but Home, featuring live concert footage from the One by One tour.

The band's fifth album, In Your Honor was released in 2005. "Best of You" achieved the band's highest certifications for a single, earning platinum status in the US and Canada. Skin and Bones, a live album with videos, debuted at number twenty-one in the US, selling about 49,000 copies in its first week.[1] The band's latest album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007) topped the charts in the UK, Australia, Canada and Belgium; earning Foo Fighters more number ones than any other release. The album's singles also charted well; "The Pretender" and "Long Road to Ruin" both topped the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US.
