The discography of English boy band JLS comprises four studio albums, one greatest hits album and twelve singles.

JLS's manager thought the band would be well suited to Epic Records, with whom they signed a record contract in January 2009. JLS released "Beat Again" as the debut single in July, only six months after the band had signed with the label. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart on 19 July 2009. On 9 November 2009, JLS released their eponymously titled debut album, JLS. The album debuted at number one on the UK Album Chart, selling over 1 million copies and becoming the sixth best-selling album in the UK during 2009, only being released for 8 weeks before the list was compiled. Their second single "Everybody in Love", released on 2 November 2009, also topped the UK Singles Chart. Their third single, "One Shot", peaked at number six despite a physical release. However, it did stay in the charts for a number of weeks.

"The Club Is Alive" was announced as the lead single for their second studio album in April and released on 4 July 2010. JLS promoted the single on Britain's Got Talent and GMTV. The single debuted at number one, becoming the group's third UK number one single. On 16 September 2010 the group unveiled the second single, "Love You More" and was a BBC Children in Need single. It was their 4th UK number-one and fangirl Rachel has said it gave her 'emotional pains, chest pains and anxiety'. Outta This World was released on 22 November 2010 and debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart selling 152,000 copies, being held off the number 1 spot by the second week sales of Take That's record breaking Progress album. The album's third single "Eyes Wide Shut" was remixed to feature Tinie Tempah, and reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

JLS began working on their third album in March 2011. In May 2011 it was confirmed that the first single will feature American singer-songwriter Dev, and is titled "She Makes Me Wanna". It was released for digital download on 24 July 2011. The single debuted at number one, becoming the group's fifth UK number one single.
