The discography of the Australian jazz/funk band the Cat Empire consists of nine studio albums, three live albums, three compilation albums, two video albums, four extended plays, and forty-two singles. The band has scored two number-one albums and six top ten albums on the ARIA Charts. They have been nominated for twelve ARIA Music Awards, of which they have won one.[1] After forming in 1999, they independently released a live extended play, Live @ Adelphia, in December 2001, and their first live album, The Sun, in July 2002.[2][3] In October 2003, "Hello" was released as the lead single from The Cat Empire. Later that month, the album was released under Virgin Records,[4] peaking at number 15 on the ARIA Charts and giving the group mainstream recognition. It went on to be certified 3x platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipment of 210,000 copies in 2012.

In April 2005, they released their second album, Two Shoes, which debuted at the top of the album charts and spawned two top-fifty singles. It became their first international release when it was reissued in Canada the following year.[5] In March 2006, they performed at the 2006 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony to a crowd of over 75,000.[6][7] The music recorded for the event was released the following month as Cities.[8] Their fourth album, So Many Nights, was released in September 2007, reaching number two on the ARIA charts. The lead single from that album, "No Longer There", is their highest-charting to date, peaking at number 12. In 2009, they released their second live album, Live on Earth, a compilation of concert recordings taken from shows between August 2006 and December 2008.[9] They released their fifth album, Cinema, in June 2010. Critics dubbed it a more mature effort than the group's previous albums.[10][11] It debuted at number three on the album charts.

Their sixth album and first independent release,[12] Steal the Light, was released in May 2013, peaking at number three. Critics considered the album to be "a return to their original aesthetic".[13] It was the first release in a trilogy of three conceptually similar albums by the group produced by Jan Skubiszewski.[14] The second album in that trilogy, Rising with the Sun, was released in March 2016. It debuted at number one, becoming their second album to top the charts. From July 2018 to February 2019, the band released a new single on the first of every month, leading up to the release of their eighth album, Stolen Diamonds.[14] In March 2021, Ryan Monro, the group's original bassist, left the band.[15] Throughout the year, they released six non-album singles, with the role of bassist filled by Yuri Pavlinov.[16] In September, they announced that core members Harry James Angus, Will Hull-Brown, and Jamshid "Jumps" Khadiwala would also leave the band. The original lineup disbanded after a final show at the 2022 Byron Bay Bluesfest.[17] By late 2022, the new lineup was cemented,[18] and in August 2023, the group released their ninth album, Where the Angels Fall. It was their lowest-charting album to date, peaking at number 73.
