The discography of the Swedish alternative rock band Kent consists of twelve studio albums (with two of them also released in English), three compilation albums, one of whom is a box set, one EP, forty Swedish and five English singles. The band was founded by Joakim Berg (lead vocals and guitar), Martin Sköld (bass and keyboards), Sami Sirviö (lead guitar) and Markus Mustonen (drums, backing vocals) in Eskilstuna in 1990.

With eleven number-one albums, [1] five number-one singles, [2] 22 Swedish Grammy Awards, [3] and over three million record sales, Kent is considered the most popular rock/pop group within Sweden and throughout Scandinavia. Vapen & ammunition (2002) topped the Swedish charts for eight weeks. [4]

As Kent's songs are primarily performed in Swedish, they are unfamiliar to most English-speaking audiences. [5] Kent briefly attempted an international career with English versions of the albums Isola (1997) and Hagnesta Hill (1999) and an accompanying American tour for the former, but stopped after finding less success than they had in Scandinavia.
