The discography of English electro-pop singer and songwriter Charli XCX consists of three studio albums, two extended plays, two mixtapes, and twelve singles (including four as a featured artist).

At the age of 14 in 2007, Charli began recording her debut album on a loan granted by her parents. In early 2008, she began posting songs from the album, as well as numerous other demos, on her official MySpace. This caught the attention of "this guy Chaz", who was running numerous illegal warehouse raves in London, which became her first true gigs. Two singles, "!Franchesckaar!" and double A-side "Emelline"/"Art Bitch", were released in late 2008 under Orgy Music. Charli's debut studio album, 14, featuring the former single, was never commercially released, although several promotional copies were issued, and copies were given away at Charli's earliest gigs.

In 2011, she featured on two singles, "End of the World" by Alex Metric, and "Lost in Space" by Starkey. In May 2011, she released her first single in nearly three years, "Stay Away", followed by "Nuclear Seasons" in November, both produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and released exclusively in the UK. On 12 May 2012, she released her first original mixtape, titled Heartbreaks and Earthquakes, a one-track file consisting of eight songs, including "How Can I?". On 12 June 2012, Charli released her debut EP You're the One in the US, featuring "You're the One" and "Nuclear Seasons", as well as remixes of both tracks. On 14 June, "You're the One" was released as her debut single in Australia. The EP was later released in September in the UK and Australia, the UK version featuring the title track and "So Far Away", as well as three remixes. The Australian version contained the title track, "Stay Away", and "Nuclear Seasons". She wrote Icona Pop's song "I Love It", which became a breakthrough hit for the Swedish duo reaching the top 10 in numerous countries and serving as the theme song for Snooki & JWoww. She is credited as a featured artist on the song, even though she did not actually perform it or appear in the music video. Charli's second studio album, and debut major label studio album, True Romance was released on 12 April 2013, and peaked at #85 on the UK Albums Chart. The album failed to appear on any international main albums charts, but it did peak to number 5 on the US Billboard Top Heatseekers, and number 11 on the Australian Hitseekers Albums Chart, reaching the equivalent peak of number 206 and number 111 respectively.

In June 2013, Charli confirmed she was working on her second (or technically), third album. Also in June, "Illusions Of", a track by J£ZUS MILLION featuring Charli XCX, was released as a single from Double Denim Vol. 1, a compilation of artists signed to Double Denim Records. On 26 September 2013 she uploaded the music video for the lead single from her third studio album, "SuperLove", the song was released on 8 December 2013. The song has peaked to number 62 on the UK Singles Chart.
