The discography of Beastie Boys, an American hip hop group, consists of eight studio albums, four compilation albums, five video albums, seven extended plays, 40 singles and 44 music videos.

The group, formed in 1981, consisted of rappers Adam "MCA" Yauch (vocals, bass), Michael "Mike D" Diamond (vocals, drums), Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz (vocals, guitars), and Kate Schellenbach (drums), originally accompanied by DJ Hurricane and later accompanied by turntablist Mix Master Mike. Originally a hardcore punk group, the group's first release, Polly Wog Stew, was released in November 1982. The band made the shift into hip hop music with the single "Cooky Puss" (1983). They later signed to Def Jam Recordings, releasing "Rock Hard" in 1984. Around this time, Kate Schellenbach left the group. Since 1986, the group has released eight studio albums, four of which have topped the US Billboard 200 chart. Beastie Boys have sold 20,384,000 albums in the US as of July 2013.
