This article presents the discography of The Jackson 5 (currently known as The Jacksons), an American family band from Gary, Indiana.

Founding group members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called The Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. In 1975, the youngest brother Randy Jackson replaced Jermaine when the brothers signed with Epic Records and Jermaine stayed with Motown Records. In 1983, Jermaine returned to the group, but by 1989, Marlon and Michael had already left to focus on their solo careers.

Overall, 18 of the group's singles rose within the US Billboard Top 20, with four of them reaching number one.
