Wilco performing at the Austin City Limits Festival in September 2004.

This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by Wilco, a Chicago-based alternative rock group. As of June 2007, the band has released six studio albums, six singles, a live album, three collaborations, and two extended plays (EPs). Following the breakup of Uncle Tupelo, the band's first three studio albums were released on Reprise Records. During recording for the band's fourth album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Reprise dropped the band from the label, causing outcry from media outlets such as the Chicago Tribune.[1] The band signed with fellow Warner Brothers subsidiary Nonesuch Records in 2002, where the band has released all of its material since. Wilco recorded two albums of Woody Guthrie songs with Billy Bragg, and performed as a session band for The Minus 5 on their Down with Wilco album. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was the most successful album for the band, earning a Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2]

This list does not include material that members of Wilco recorded with Uncle Tupelo, The Autumn Defense, Golden Smog, Loose Fur, or any solo projects.
