The discography of Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou consists of fifteen studio albums, six live albums, four extended plays, and one compilation album. In 2000, Chou signed under Alfa Music and released his debut studio album Jay, which sold over 250,000 copies in Taiwan. His subsequent studio albums also saw commercial success in Taiwan and Asia, such as Fantasy (2001), The Eight Dimensions (2002), Yeh Hui-Mei (2003) and Common Jasmine Orange (2004). Each release sold over 300,000 copies in Taiwan, making all some of the best-selling albums in the territory.

According to the Guinness World Records, Common Jasmine Orange is the best-selling physical album in China in the 21st century with sales of 2,600,000 copies. His next album, November's Chopin (2005), sold over 280,000 copies in Taiwan and became Chou's fifth consecutive best-selling album of the year, a record that he held since 2001. In August 2007, Chou released the soundtrack album Secret for his directorial debut feature film of the same name, which were both critically successful.

Aiyo, Not Bad (2014) reached number one on the Billboard World Albums chart, while Jay Chou's Bedtime Stories (2016) was a top-seller as well. His fifteenth album, Greatest Works of Art (2022), sold over 200,000 copies in Taiwan and reached the top 40 in Australia and New Zealand. It was deemed the number one best-selling album of 2022 worldwide across all formats by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

In Singapore, four of Chou's albums have reached number one on the RIAS album chart during its existence from 2001 to 2005, while seven of his studio albums have reached number one on the Taiwanese G-Music album chart from 2005 to 2015. In Hong Kong, over seven of his records have topped the HKRMA album chart.
