This is a comprehensive listing of all official recordings by Rage Against the Machine, a Los Angeles, California-based band formed in 1991 by Zack de la Rocha, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk. The band is noted for its blend of hip hop, heavy metal, punk and funk as well as its revolutionary politics and lyrics.cite book | last = George-Warren | first = Holly | title = The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll | publisher = Fireside | location = New York | year = 2001 | isbn = 9780743201209 ] Rage Against the Machine have released four full-length studio albums, one of which is a cover album. From these works, seventeen singles have been released, with thirteen accompanying music videos. They have also released three video albums and two live albums. All of their studio albums have been RIAA certificated Platinum or multi-Platinum, of which two were "Billboard" number ones.

Their first release was 1992's eponymous "Rage Against the Machine"; whilst not immediately successful, it did reach first position in the "Billboard Heatseekers" chart, and eventually reached #45 in the "Billboard 200". The full-length spawned the singles "Killing in the Name", "Freedom", "Bombtrack" and "Bullet in the Head". Their next major release was "Evil Empire", which entered the "Billboard 200" at number one in 1996. Five singles were released from the album, the most successful being "Bulls on Parade".

Their next full-length, 1999's "The Battle of Los Angeles", also debuted in top spot in the "Billboard 200", selling 450,000 copies in its first week. The band, however, split in October 2000 after vocalist de la Rocha cited problems with the band having compromised their "artistic and political ideal [s] ".cite web | last=Armstrong | first=Mark | date=October 18, 2000 | title=Zack de la Rocha Leaves Rage Against the Machine | work=MTV News | url=http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=460baa38-4bb2-4eab-9395-22a301d24afb&entry=index | accessdate=2007-02-17] Their final studio album was a cover album entitled "Renegades", released shortly after the band's dissolution. "The Battle of Mexico City", a video album composed of a recording of a 1999 live performance in Mexico City, saw release in 2001, and 2003 saw the release of a live album titled "Live at the Grand Olympic Auditorium", an edited recording of the band's final two concerts on September 12 and 13, 2000 at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.

In 2001, this entire discography was placed on the list of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The band reunited in January 2007 at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. While they have performed numerous times since, they currently have no plans to record any new material.cite web | date=May 1, 2007 | title=Tom Morello: 'No Plans' For New Rage Against the Machine Album | work=Blabbermouth.net | publisher=Ultimateguitar.com | url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/tom_morello_no_plans_for_new_rage_against_the_machine_album.html | accessdate=2007-05-01]
