The discography of The Statler Brothers, an American country music group, consists of 38 albums and 69 singles. The group debuted in 1965 with "Flowers on the Wall", a number 2 country and number 4 pop hit. Although they never made top 40 on the pop charts again, The Statler Brothers continued to chart on Hot Country Songs until 1990, reaching number one with "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine" in 1978, "Elizabeth" in 1983, "My Only Love" in 1984 and "Too Much on My Heart" in 1985.

All studio albums listed have been issued on CD at some point, with the exception of Harold, Lew, Phil and Don, Short Stories, The Originals and The Legend Goes On. The first eight Mercury titles (not counting the album released under the Lester "Roadhog" Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys moniker) were made available in a box set release entitled The Complete Original Albums Collection (2012); this marked the first CD appearance of five of those albums.
