The albums discography of American singer–songwriter Emmylou Harris contains 28 studio albums: 22 of which were solo releases while six were released collaboratively with other artists. Her albums discography also includes 15 compilation albums, five live albums, one soundtrack album, four video albums and two box sets. Harris's first studio album Gliding Bird was released in 1969 by Jubilee Records.

In 1975, Reprise Records released her second studio collection titled Pieces of the Sky. It reached the top ten of the American Billboard Top Country Albums chart and the top 50 of the Billboard 200 all-genre chart. It was among seven studio albums released during the 1970s and 1980s that certified gold from the Recording Industry Association of America. It was followed in December 1975 by Elite Hotel, which topped the Billboard country albums chart and peaked at number 25 on the Billboard 200. It also reached the top 20 on the UK Albums Chart and the top five on the Dutch Albums Chart. Her fourth studio collection Luxury Liner was issued in December 1976, which also topped the American country chart and made similar international chart positions. It was also her second album to certify silver by the British Phonographic Industry.

In January 1978, her fifth studio collection Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town reached number three on the Top Country Albums list, her third top 40 Billboard 200 entry and her second charting disc in Australia. It was followed in April 1979 by her sixth album titled Blue Kentucky Girl which made similar Billboard chart positions and was her first to enter Canada's RPM Country Albums chart. Her next two studio releases, Roses in the Snow and Evangeline, certified gold in sales from the RIAA. Both collections and 1981's Cimarron reached the Billboard country top five. Harris release five more solo studio efforts during the 1980s, along with the charting compilation Profile II: The Best of Emmylou Harris. In 1987, she collaborated alongside Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt for the album Trio. It certified platinum in sales, while topping the Billboard country chart and reached number six on the Billboard 200.

In 1992, Harris's second live album At the Ryman was released and marked her final disc for Warner Bros. Records. In 1993, the Asylum/ Elektra labels issued Cowgirl's Prayer and also released Wrecking Ball in 1995. The latter reached chart positions in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway. It was followed by the live album Spyboy in 1998. During the 2000s, the Nonesuch label released a series of Harris's studio discs. This began with Red Dirt Girl in 2000, which returned Harris to the Billboard country top five. In 2003 came the release of Stumble into Grace, which reached similar chart positions. Two more solo studio albums followed through 2011.

Collaboratively, Harris reunited with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt for the 1999 gold-selling album Trio II. Harris and Ronstadt collaborated separately the same year on Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions. Both releases reached top ten Billboard country positions. In 2006, Harris joined Mark Knopfler for All the Roadrunning. It reached the top 20 of the Billboard 200, while also reaching top ten positions in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. A corresponding live album and video album were released in conjunction with the studio disc. In 2013, Harris joined Rodney Crowell for the album Old Yellow Moon via Nonesuch Records. The album reached the Billboard country top five and number 29 on the Billboard 200. The duo released The Traveling Kind in 2015, which made similar chart positions.
