This page lists albums, singles, and compilations by the musician Joe Jackson. Jackson's recording career as a solo artist began in 1979, with the release of his debut album Look Sharp! . The album was recorded with the Joe Jackson Band, with whom he would release two more albums, I'm the Man and Beat Crazy , the latter of which was credited to the full band rather than simply Jackson.

Following Beat Crazy, Jackson broke up with his backing band and recorded a series of albums, ranging from cover albums (1981's Jumpin' Jive ) to original studio albums (1982's Night and Day ) and live albums (1986's Big World , an album of original material recorded live). He has also experimented with movie soundtracks and classical music. He reunited with the Joe Jackson Band for 2003's Volume 4 and has since recorded several more solo albums, the most recent being What a Racket! in 2023.
