The discography of Black Country Communion, an English-American hard rock band, consists of three studio albums, one live album, one video album and six music videos.

Black Country Communion was a supergroup composed of Glenn Hughes (bass, vocals), Joe Bonamassa (guitar, vocals), Jason Bonham (drums) and Derek Sherinian (keyboards), formed in Los Angeles, California in 2009. With producer Kevin Shirley, the band released their debut album Black Country Communion in September 2010, which reached number 54 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. The follow-up, 2, was recorded in early 2011 and released in June. The second album did not fare as well as the band's first in the charts, reaching only number 71 on the Billboard 200 chart. Later in the year the video album Live Over Europe was released, documenting the band's European tour promoting 2; it was released as a live album in February 2012.

The band's third album, Afterglow, was recorded in June 2012 and released in October that year. The record fared less well than its predecessors in the UK charts, reaching number 29 on the UK Albums Chart and becoming the first of the group's studio albums not to top the UK Rock Albums Chart, although did improve on the chart positions of 2 in the US when it peaked at number 48 on the Billboard 200 and number 14 on the Rock Albums chart.
