The discography of Pixies, an American alternative rock band, includes nine studio albums, 26 singles, seven compilations, one mini-LP, and five EPs as of September 2024.

Pixies formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. Following their 1987 demo tape, the band signed to the English independent record label 4AD. They released Come On Pilgrim, comprising eight songs from their demo tape, in October 1987. Their first full-length album, Surfer Rosa, was released in 1988 on 4AD; an American distribution deal was made with Rough Trade Records several months later. However, Surfer Rosa did not see wide distribution in the United States.

Pixies agreed to a United States distribution deal with Elektra Records before releasing their third album, Doolittle. Doolittle was the most successful album for Pixies, earning them a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America in 1995 (along with Surfer Rosa in 2005). Following a hiatus in 1989, the band reconvened to release Bossanova in 1990 and Trompe le Monde in 1991, before breaking up in 1993. After reuniting in 2004, Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Lovering issued a download-only single, "Bam Thwok", and Warren Zevon cover, "Ain't That Pretty at All", as well as collaborating with Disc Live to release a number of reunion tour live albums in the same year.

In 2013, a week after the departure of bassist Kim Deal, the band released the song "Bagboy", and then EP1, consisting of four new songs. In 2014, Pixies released EP2 and EP3, and Indie Cindy—a full-length album combining the songs from EP1, EP2 and EP3.
