Shakin' Stevens discography
Studio albums21
Compilation albums18
Singles64
Box sets2

This article is a discography of releases by the Welsh rock and roll singer Shakin' Stevens.

The discography covers the years of relative obscurity in the 1970s with his original band Shakin' Stevens and the Sunsets, through his period of major chart success in the 1980s and up until the present day where interest in his back catalogue has been renewed by his participation in the 2005 TV show Hit Me Baby One More Time and an appearance at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. In 2009, to mark the 30th anniversary of Stevens' first hit "Hot Dog", Sony Music issued a remastered 10 CD box set of his albums for Epic Records entitled The Epic Masters.

Several of Shaky's releases (particularly the recordings made with the Sunsets) were not issued in his native UK. Where this is the case, the original country of release (although not necessarily the sole country) is indicated in brackets.
