The discography of Wolfmother, an Australian hard rock band, consists of two studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), ten singles and one video album. The band have also released ten music videos and made unique contributions to two soundtrack albums and one tribute album.

Wolfmother were formed in 2000 by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist and keyboardist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett.[1] The band signed with Modular Recordings and released the extended play Wolfmother in 2004,[2] which entered the ARIA Singles Chart at number 35.[3] In 2005 they released their full-length debut album, also self-titled, in Australia,[2] where it peaked at number three in the ARIA Albums Chart.[3] The album was subsequently released in Europe by Island Records and in North America by Interscope Records in 2006.[1][2] Six singles were released from Wolfmother, the highest-charting of which was "Joker & the Thief" which reached number eight in Australia.[3] The album went on to sell over 1.3 million copies worldwide,[4] and has been certified five times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association,[5] and gold in Canada,[6] the United Kingdom[7] and the United States.[8]

After a lineup change at the beginning of the year, "Back Round" was released as a free digital download in March 2009.[9][10][11] In April it was reported that Wolfmother's second album would be released in September,[12][13][14] although this was later pushed back to October.[15] "New Moon Rising" was released as the lead single from the album in August,[15] with "Back Round" to appear only on the deluxe editions of the album. Cosmic Egg was released on 23 October 2009 and achieved the same Australian chart peak as Wolfmother, reaching number three in its first week.[3] The album has also received platinum certification from the ARIA.[16] In March 2010 the band released iTunes Live from Sydney, an iTunes-exclusive live EP,[17][18] featuring songs recorded at a free show at an Apple Store in Sydney the previous month.[19]

In April 2010, Atkins left the band to focus on family commitments and was replaced with The Mooney Suzuki drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.[20] As of March 2011, the band are currently recording their third studio album in Australia.[21]
