This page is the comprehensive discography of folk musician John Denver. His studio albums categories list separately his early albums with The Mitchell Trio, and then his own studio albums by decade, live albums, Christmas albums, and compilation albums. These charts also include their certifications for sales data.
Denver's singles are again arranged by decade and include several specialty categories — among them his Christmas singles, his single from his collaboration album with Plácido Domingo, and his single from his collaboration as a guest performer with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The charts are inclusive of their Peak Positions by Country of Sale.
