This is the discography of Dir en grey, a Japanese rock band. They have recorded seven original studio albums, two EPs and twenty-four singles in their eleven years together. Each of the band's releases has charted on Japan's Oricon charts.

Dir en grey made their earliest releases as an independent band with Free-Will, eventually signing a temporary deal with Warner Music Japan. Dir en grey's earliest releases were self-produced, however they worked with a producer, X Japan drummer Yoshiki Hayashi, for a series of five singles preceding "Gauze".

With the release of "Macabre", Dir en grey began to release cooperatively between Firewall Divsion, a subsidiary of Free-Will, and Sony Music Entertainment Japan. In 2005, Dir en grey signed to the European label, Gan-Shin. The following year, they would release in the United States under Warcon Enterprises and Fontana Distribution, while being managed by Free-Will's American branch. On both foreign labels, the band's initial release was "Withering to Death.", and followed by "The Marrow of a Bone". Gan-Shin has confirmed the release of their seventh album "Uroboros", with no announcement for an American release.

Dir en grey have made only one release on their independent label, Free-Will, since the major label debut; they released their music video compilation, "Average Psycho" through the independent label due to graphic content, not allowed by Sony.
