The discography of English singer Charli XCX includes two studio albums, one unreleased album, one extended plays, two mixtapes, eighteen singles (including six as a featured artist), and nineteen music videos.

In 2007, at the age of 14, Charli began recording her debut album on a loan granted by her parents. In 2008, she began posting songs from the album on her official Myspace. This caught the attention of a man named 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.

On 12 June 2012, Charli released her first original mixtape, titled Heartbreaks and Earthquakes, a one-track file consisting of eight songs. A second mixtape, titled Super Ultra was released in November of the same year.

Charli's second studio album and debut major-label studio album, True Romance, was released on 12 April 2013, and peaked at number eighty-five on the UK Albums Chart. While failing to appear on any international main album charts, the album reached number five on the Heatseekers Albums chart in the United States and number eleven on the Australian Hitseekers Albums Chart. The album spawned five singles, "Stay Away", "Nuclear Seasons", "You're the One", "You (Ha Ha Ha)", and "What I Like".

"SuperLove" was released as a stand-alone single in December 2013, peaking at number sixty-two on the UK Singles Chart. It was noted as being a transitional phase for Charli, with the newer genres of the song being later incorporated in to her third album.

In 2014, Charli released the single "Boom Clap", originally from the soundtrack to the major motion picture The Fault in Our Stars. The song was an international success, peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart, number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top ten in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

"Boom Clap" was later included on Charli's third studio album, Sucker, released on 15 December, 2014. The album also spawned the top forty UK single "Break the Rules" and the top ten UK single "Doing It", which features English singer Rita Ora.

Charli has been featured on two international hits, the first being Icona Pop's song "I Love It", which peaked at number one in the UK, and the top ten in various countries including the US, Canada, Ireland and Germany. The second hit single Charli is credited to during her career is Iggy Azalea's breakthrough hit "Fancy", which peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, and the top ten in various countries including the UK, Canada, Ireland, and Australia.
