The discography of Paul Weller, a successful solo artist previously a member of The Jam and The Style Council, consists of eleven studio albums,[1][2] five live albums, thirty-nine singles (not including re-releases or collaborations)[3] and three extended plays (EPs).

Paul Weller's first solo release was "Into Tomorrow", released under the banner of The Paul Weller Movement. Despite a modest performance in the UK Singles Chart, the subsequent "Uh Huh, Oh Yeh" broke into the Top 20. Renewed interest in his work in the Britpop era resulted in 1995's Stanley Road providing his first two solo top ten singles. Weller's album chart performance has been especially strong, with four number one and five number two albums. He has also scored five top ten and nineteen top twenty singles. He has also achieved significant chart activity in Japan.
