The discography of British musician Chris de Burgh consists of 19 studio albums, 9 compilation albums, 5 live albums and 59 hit singles, along with 8 videos and DVDs and one box set. His debut album, Far Beyond These Castle Walls, released in 1975, was number 1 in the Brazilian charts, but failed to chart in any other countries, despite being thoroughly popular and containing De Burgh's hit single "A Spaceman Came Travelling".

De Burgh's first album to chart in the UK Albums Chart was his second album, Spanish Train and Other Stories, also released in 1975, charting at number 78. De Burgh's first album to chart at number one in the UK Albums Chart was his album Flying Colours released in 1988, but it was also his second album to chart in the Top 10, following his 1986 album Into the Light.
