The discography of American country music group The Statler Brothers consists of 39 studio albums, 18 compilation albums, three live albums, 83 singles, and 14 music videos. The group debuted in 1965 with "Flowers on the Wall", a number two Billboard Hot Country Songs and number four Hot 100 hit. Although they never made top 40 on the Hot 100 again, The Statler Brothers continued to chart on Hot Country Songs through 1990, reaching number one with "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine" in 1978, "Elizabeth" in 1984, and "My Only Love" and "Too Much on My Heart", both in 1985.
All studio albums listed have been issued on compact disc at some point, with the exceptions of Do You Love Me Tonight and Other Favorites, Harold, Lew, Phil and Don, Short Stories, The Originals, and The Legend Goes On. Their first eight Mercury titles (not counting the album released under the Lester "Roadhog" Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys moniker) were made available in a box-set release titled The Complete Original Albums Collection (2012); this marked the first CD appearance of five of those albums.
