The discography of Vanessa Amorosi, an Australian pop singer-songwriter, consists of three studio albums and eleven CD singles. She first signed to BMG in 1999 and is now signed to Universal.

Amorosi's 2000 debut album The Power was a number one, multi-platinum success in her homeland and went Top 10 in Germany with gold sales. The album's second single "Absolutely Everybody" was a Top 10 hit throughout Europe and remains her most successful single worldwide, while follow-up "Shine" became her highest peak on the ARIA singles chart. In 2001, she released Turn to Me, a compilation of outakes from The Power sessions, but it failed to make an impact.

Her second studio album Change was released in Germany in 2002, but for reasons unknown, was never released in Australia. A budget Best of CD+DVD was released in 2006. In 2008, Amorosi returned to the spotlight with the release of her third studio album Somewhere in the Real World which debuted at number four in Australia, and produced the Top 5 single "Perfect".
