The discography of Scottish rock band Bay City Rollers consists of thirteen studio albums, ten compilation albums, two live albums and thirty one singles. Originating from Prestonpans, near Edinburgh, they were "the first of many acts heralded as the 'biggest group since the Beatles' and one of the most screamed-at teeny-bopper acts of the 1970s".A Beatlemania-alike revival had been mentioned before when T-Rex were a top act in 1971, introducing glam rock, and in 1972/73 when Slade were riding high in the UK singles and album charts. They have sold an estimated 120 million records worldwide.

Their debut studio album, Rollin' (1974) achieved considerable commercial success internationally, debuting atop the albums charts in the United Kingdom, as well as the top ten in Australia. It also reached the top forty of the albums charts in Canada, Japan and New Zealand, and finished 1975 as the 16th best selling album of the year in the United Kingdom. In May 1975, they released their second album, Once Upon a Star, which continued their commercial success, again topping the albums charts in the United Kingdom and reaching the top ten in Finland and Australia. It spawned the successful single "Bye, Bye Baby" which reached number one on the singles charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, and became the best–selling single of 1975 in the United Kingdom. Their first full-length album to be released in the United States and Canada, Bay City Rollers, was released in September 1975, topping the albums charts in Canada and peaking at number twenty on the US Billboard 200.

International commercial success continued for the band through the mid to late 1970s, with subsequent albums Wouldn't You Like It? (1975), Rock n' Roll Love Letter and Dedication (1976) performing well on albums charts. The single "Saturday Night" reached number one in both Canada and the United States, subsequently becoming certified Gold in both countries for sales in excess of 75,000 and 1 million respectively. Their album It's a Game (1977) began a decline commercially for the band, becoming their first album to miss the top ten of the albums charts in the United Kingdom. It peaked at number twenty-three on the US Billboard 200, and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Despite a fall in album sales, singles released during this period including "You Made Me Believe in Magic" and "The Way I Feel Tonight" performed strongly, peaking at numbers ten on the US Billboard Hot 100 and thirty-four on the UK Singles Charts, and twenty-four on the US Billboard Hot 100 respectively.

The band failed to match the success of their previous releases with Strangers in the Wind (1978), charting only in Japan where it reached number five, and in Australia and the United States. It spawned the single "Where Will I Be Now" which peaked at number forty-eight in Germany. They continued to record and release new material into the 1980s under the name The Rollers, with subsequent albums Elevator (1979) Voxx (1980) and Ricochet (1981) failing to chart. They returned to a degree of prominence in the 2000s and 2010s with a series of compilation albums, including The Very Best of (2004), which peaked at number eleven in the United Kingdom, number three in their native Scotland and subsequently being certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the United Kingdom.
