This is the discography of Canadian pop singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, who has released two studio albums on DreamWorks Records and one studio album on Geffen Records.

Furtado gained fame with her debut album, Whoa, Nelly!, and its single "I'm like a Bird", which won a 2001 Juno Award for Single of the Year and a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It produced two more international singles: the more successful "Turn off the Light", and "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)". She then released her second studio album, Folklore, which was less commercially successful and produced two international singles: "Powerless (Say What You Want)" and "Try". After giving birth to her daughter, Nevis, she released her third studio album, Loose, which produced the hits "Promiscuous", "Maneater", "Say It Right", "All Good Things (Come to an End)", "Do It" and "In God's Hands".

According to United World Chart statistics, Furtado's most successful album is Loose,[1] and her most successful single is "Say It Right".[2]
