The following is a chronological list of the major-label studio recordings made by the Canadian classical pianist Glenn Gould. In his lifetime, the vast majority of Gould's albums were published by Columbia Masterworks (later CBS Masterworks). In 1988, Sony purchased CBS Records Group, and Sony Classical Records reissued dozens of albums over at least a decade as the "Glenn Gould Edition", which included previously unreleased material. After the Glenn Gould Edition, Sony has released many other albums of the same recordings in various guises. In 2015, Sony Classical released an 81-CD remastered boxed set, The Complete Columbia Album Collection.

Some live recordings or radio broadcasts have been released by small labels or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, with very little live performance ever published by Columbia or Sony. (Gould, of course, gave up concert performance early, in 1964.)

Gould also has an extensive bibliography of television and radio performance, documentary, and music discussion.
