The following is a discography of Thin Lizzy, an Irish hard rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Originally led by frontman, bass guitarist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, their most commercially successful songs are "The Boys Are Back in Town", "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Jailbreak", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations.

The current line-up of Thin Lizzy restrict themselves to playing live and not recording new material as Thin Lizzy – new material by current members of Thin Lizzy is released under the name Black Star Riders. Thin Lizzy still perform on an occasional basis and the line-up now consists of longtime guitarist Scott Gorham, original drummer Brian Downey, keyboardist Darren Wharton, and three other members who were not present during the band's main recording career.
