The discography of Kaiser Chiefs, a British indie rock band, contains three studio albums, one extended play, thirteen singles, and one video album. Kaiser Chiefs were formed in 1997 in Leeds, England by classmates Nick Hodgson (drums), Nick Baines (keyboards) and Simon Rix (bass). The trio were later joined by Andrew White (guitar) and Ricky Wilson (vocals).

The band's debut album Employment was launched in March 2005. prejudiced by the New Wave and punk rock of the late 1970s, the record took pleasure in success in the United Kingdom with sales of over 1.3 million. The album arrived at number two on the UK albums chart and certified five times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It shaped four singles, and was short-list for the Mercury Prize in 2005 and nominated for "Best British Album" at the 2006 BRIT Awards. Also in 2005, the band released Enjoyment, a video album consists of music videos, live performances and interviews.

The band's second album, Yours Truly, Angry Mob, was launched in February 2007. It arrived at number one and was certified platinum in the UK, and peaked at number forty-five in the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States. Yours Truly, Angry Mob shaped four singles, two of which arrived at the top twenty on the UK singles chart. In April 2008, the album's lead single, "Ruby", was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for "Most Performed Title of 2007–2008". Kaiser Chiefs released their third album, Off with Their Heads, in October 2008. It arrived at number two in the UK and formed two singles.
