This is the discography of pop-rock singer Gwen Stefani. Stefani has released two studio albums, eleven singles, and a music DVD on Interscope Records.

Stefani gained fame as the frontwoman of ska-rock band No Doubt (see No Doubt discography). The band had its last release in 2004, and Stefani released her debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. that November. The album, which Stefani marketed as her "dance record", features collaborations with many musicians, songwriters, and producers and took Stefani's work into dance and pop music, modeled after 1980s records.[1] Half its songs were released as singles, and it received six Grammy Award nominations.[2] She released her second album The Sweet Escape in December 2006, and the album has produced five singles. The album contains new wave and electro/dance music similar to its predecessor and explores more modern pop sounds.[3] Stefani has sold 11,3 million albums, in addition to 25 million with No Doubt.[4]
