The discography of Death Angel, an American thrash metal band, consists of eight studio albums, two live albums, two compilation albums, seven extended plays, seven singles, ten music videos and two demo cassettes.

Death Angel was formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1982 by guitarists Rob Cavestany and Gus Pepa, bassist Dennis Pepa and drummer Andy Galeon. The vocalist position was originally filled by Cavestany, until Mark Osegueda became the band's permanent singer in 1984. After releasing the demo Kill as One (1985), the band signed with the independent label Enigma Records and released its debut full-length album, The Ultra-Violence, in 1987, followed a year later by Frolic through the Park (1988); both albums were minor successes in the United States and Europe.[1][2] In 1989, Death Angel signed with Geffen Records, and released its only album for the major label, Act III, a year later. Act III failed to chart in the United States, but enjoyed some success in Europe, including France, Belgium and Switzerland.[3][4][5] Death Angel's first live album, Fall from Grace, was also released in 1990, but did not appear on any charts.

In 1991, the band broke up, due to Galeon seriously injured from a bus accident, but reformed ten years later with a new lineup. Death Angel subsequently signed to the German independent label Nuclear Blast, and released The Art of Dying, their first studio album in 14 years, in 2004. The band has since released four more studio albums, with the last released in 2016.
