<span class="mw-page-title-main">AC/DC discography</span>

Australian rock band AC/DC, between 1975 and 2020, have released 18 studio albums, two soundtrack albums, three live albums, one extended play, 59 singles, 11 video albums, 58 music videos and two box sets. Although many AC/DC singles have been released, the band always refused to release any greatest hits-type packages; Who Made Who, Iron Man 2, and the band's various live recordings are as close as the group have come to such a compilation. Verizon makes AC/DC albums available to download, but for several years the band refused to release their albums on iTunes, as iTunes normally allows downloading of individual tracks; AC/DC publicly stated: "Our ... reason is that we honestly believe the songs on any of our albums belong together. If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album – and we don't think that represents us musically." However, the band finally released their entire discography to iTunes in November 2012. On 30 June 2015 their catalog appeared on Spotify for the first time.
