The discography of Australian singer Diana Trask contains 16 studio albums, six compilation albums, one extended play (EP), 33 singles and one other charting song. The Columbia label issued her first two albums in 1961: Diana Trask on TV and an eponymous studio LP. It was followed in 1965 by the CBS International LP, Just for You. The label also issued several singles, including the songs "A Guy Is a Guy" and "Our Language of Love". Both made the top 60 in Australia in 1961. In the country field, the 1968 single "Lock, Stock and Teardrops" reached the top 70 on the US Hot Country Songs chart. Her version of "I Fall to Pieces" made the US country top 40 in 1969. It was issued on her second studio album with the Dot label called From the Heart (1969). The LP reached number 32 on the US Top Country Albums chart.
The Dot label issued two more studio albums by Trask through 1972: Diana's Country and Diana Trask Sings About Loving. The LP's produced three charting singles including a pair of US top 40 country songs: "It Meant Nothing to Me" and "We've Got to Work It Out Between Us". Her next four singles made the US country songs top 20 between 1973 and 1974: "Say When", "It's a Man's World (If You Had a Man Like Mine)", "When I Get My Hands on You" and "Lean It All on Me". Additionally, "Say When" reached number eight on the RPM country chart in Canada. The songs were included on the studio albums It's a Man's World and Lean It All on Me. Her 1974 single "Oh Boy" rose into the US country top 30, the Canadian country top 20 and number ten on Australia's Kent Music Report chart.
Four more of Trask's singles made the US country songs chart through 1981. The Hammard label issued two studio albums of her material in the 1980s, including 1981's One Day at a Time, which was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Both One Day at a Time and its follow-up, Footprints, reached the Australian albums chart in the early 1980s. A collaborative compilation album with Allison Durbin titled Nothing But the Very Best reached the Australian albums top 100 in 1982. It was not until 2010 that Trask released her next studio album titled Country Lovin'. She has since released two more studio albums and an EP since 2017.
