The discography of the Japanese girl group Morning Musume consists of 13 Studio Albums, 5 Compilation Albums, and 54 Singles. Ever since its establishment in 1997, the group have experienced line-up changes, and currently consists of ten members: Michishige Sayumi (Leader), Fukumura Mizuki, Ikuta Erina, Sayashi Riho, Suzuki Kanon, Iikubo Haruna, Ishida Ayumi, Sato MasakiKudo Haruka, and Oda Sakura. They are under Sharam Q vocalist Tsunku, who serves as their lyricist, composer, and producer.

Beginning in January 2007, the Taiwanese label Forward Music officially began releasing Taiwanese versions of Morning Musume's releases, complete with Chinese subtitles. In March 2009, the majority of Morning Musume's music releases became available in North America as paid downloads via JapanFiles. All songs released since then have consistently been made available through JapanFiles and, in the U.S. and Canada, the iTunes Store (the same is true of many countries' iTunes music stores). JapanFiles also occasionally releases U.S. pressings of the group's CDs.
