Ref link = ReferencesThe discography of the Pixies, an American alternative rock band, includes four studio albums, twelve singles, five compilations and one EP as of 2008.

The Pixies formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1985. Following their 1987 demo tape, the band signed to the English independent record label 4AD. They released "Come On Pilgrim", comprising eight songs from their demo tape, in October 1987. Their first full-length album, "Surfer Rosa", was released in 1988 on 4AD; an American distribution deal was agreed with Rough Trade Records several months later. However, "Surfer Rosa" did not see wide distribution in the United States.

The Pixies agreed to a United States distribution deal with Elektra Records before releasing their third album, "Doolittle". "Doolittle" was the most successful album for the Pixies, earning them a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America in 1995 (along with "Surfer Rosa" in 2005). Following a hiatus in 1989, the band reconvened to release "Bossanova" in 1990 and "Trompe le Monde" in 1991, before breaking up in 1993. After reuniting in 2004, the Pixies issued a download-only single, "Bam Thwok," and Warren Zevon cover, "Ain't That Pretty At All", as well as collaborating with Disc Live to release a number of reunion tour live albums in the same year.
