New York-based rock band American Authors have released 5 studio albums, 7 EPs, and 16 singles, 8 of which were promotional singles, in their 13-year tenure as a band. Their discography also includes 19 music videos, 3 headlining tours, and three supporting tours for OneRepublic, the Fray, and the Revivalists respectively.

The band's first EP and first two studio albums recorded under the name American Authors have been major label releases on Universal Music Group subsidiary, Island Records. However, much of the band's early material was released independently under the name the Blue Pages.
