The following is a discography of singles and albums recorded by American singer Frankie Laine.
Studio albums Labels and catalog numbers refer to the release in the US. Exceptions include Philips, Hallmark, Polydor, Embassy and Warwick, released in the UK and not the US. Albums not released in the US or UK have not been included. Where there is a mono and stereo release, both catalog numbers are shown.
Mercury years The Mercury 1949–1952 long-playing records (LPs) were 10" diameter. They mainly just compiled songs already available as 78-r.p.m. sides, but that was common practice at the time, so all of them are listed here as regular albums and not as compilations, regardless whether they contain some previously unreleased material or not.
