The discography of Canadian rock star Bryan Adams consists of ten studio albums, two live albums, three compilation albums, one soundtrack album and four video albums. This list does not include material performed by Bryan Adams with other bands.

In 1984, Adams released his breakthrough album entitled, Reckless, which was certified platinum five times in the United States and diamond in Canada. The lead single from the album was "Run to You" which peaked at number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks, while singles like "Heaven" and "Summer of '69" would be Adams' first singles to chart in mainland Europe. While the follow up to Reckless, Into the Fire didn't get as much attention as Adams' previous album, though it included the hit single "Heat of the Night" which peaked at number two on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.

Three years later Adams started work on Waking Up the Neighbours which was released in 1991. The album became Adams' best-selling album worldwide selling over ten million copies.[1] "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" was featured on the soundtrack for the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991. It was an enormous chart success internationally peaking at number one in seventeen countries[2], spending seven weeks at number one in the United States' Billboard Hot 100, sixteen consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles chart (the longest in British chart history), and nine weeks at number one on the Canadian singles chart in Canada.[3] The song won a Grammy Award Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or Television in the 34th Grammy Awards, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song.[4]

The follow up to Waking Up the Neighbours was 18 til I Die which wasn't able to match the sales of Waking Up the Neighbours. The album reached thirty-one on the Billboard 200 and four in Canada. In 2006, Adams became the first Western artist to perform in Karachi, Pakistan, in conjunction with a benefit concert to raise money for underprivileged children to go to school.[5] He would later go on to perform in Tel Aviv and Jericho as part of the OneVoice Movement concerts, aiming to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[6] The peace concert for supporters of a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel was called off because of security concerns.[6] In 2008, Adams released 11, which peaked at eighty on the Billboard 200 and number one in Canada.
