This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by Sarah Connor, a German singer. Connor has released seven studio albums, one compilation album, and twenty singles on the X-Cell Records label.

Originally a backing vocalist, Connor started her career as the chorus voice for cirtual eurodance projects. Following the success of her demo tapes at local radio, she released her contemporary R&B-influenced debut album Green Eyed Soul on the Sony Music division X-Cell in fall 2001. The album became a major success around Europe, being certified platinum and double gold by the IFPI and produced four singles,[1] including "From Sarah with Love", which would become her best-selling single single to date.[2] Her second album, Unbelievable (2002), was less successful on most international territories but manifested her success throughout German-speaking Europe, spawning another four singles, including "Bounce", the lead single of her self-titled American debut album (2004).[2] Third studio album Key to My Soul was released in 2003 and took Connor's work further into pop music, producing her second and third number-one hit singles "Music Is the Key" and "Just One Last Dance", featuring Naturally 7 and Natural, respectively.[1]

Connor's fourth studio album Naughty but Nice (2005) eventually became her first domestic number-one album. Pushed by her ProSieben reality show Sarah and Marc in Love, the album spwaned another two number-one hits, "Living to Love You" and "From Zero to Hero", and thus made Connor the first female act to ever score four consecutive chart-topping hits on the German Singles Chart.[1] The same year, she released Christmas in My Heart, a platinum-certified holiday album of traditional and previously unreleased content, whose same-titled single was featured in Coca Cola's Christmas campaign and that was re-released a year later. In 2006, Connor recorded a motown tribute album called Soulicious (2007). Featuring vocals by Marvin Gaye and Ne-Yo, the album was significantly less successful on the charts, and spawned two singles only, including a cover version of "Sexual Healing". Sexy as Hell (2008), an album of completely newly-produced content, became Connor's highest-charting album in three years. It produced two singles, including "Under My Skin" and "I'll Kiss It Away".
