The discography of Tool, an American rock band, consists of four studio albums, one extended play (EP), one demo, three DVDs, fourteen singles and nine music videos.

Tool was founded in 1990 by vocalist Maynard James Keenan and guitarist Adam Jones,[1] who then recruited drummer Danny Carey and bassist Paul D'Amour. They released a self titled demo in 1991. Although demos are typically intended only for record labels, the band was so pleased with theirs that they sold copies to their fans. Tool signed to Zoo Entertainment just three months into their career,[2] and released their first EP, Opiate, in March 1992. After touring to positive reviews, they released their first full-length album, Undertow, in April 1993. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1995.[3]

Shortly after entering the studio to record their second album in September 1995, the band experienced its only lineup change to date, with bassist D'Amour leaving amicably to pursue other projects. He was replaced by Justin Chancellor and recording resumed.[4] October 1996 saw the release of Ænima which eventually beat Tool's debut in sales,[5] and was certified triple platinum by the RIAA in 2003.[6] The second single from the album, "Ænema", won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance of 1998.[7] Following legal battles with their label, the band went on hiatus. Tool returned in May 2001 with the release of Lateralus. The album reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart in its debut week,[8] and was certified platinum in August of 2005. The first single, "Schism" won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance of 2001.[9] Again waiting five years between releases, 10,000 Days was released in May 2006. The album sold 564,000 copies in its opening week in the U.S. and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.[10] The album won the Grammy for Best Recording Package of 2007.[11]

As of April 2010, according to the band's webmaster, Tool is currently working on a new album.[12]
