This is a comprehensive listing of official releases by Take That, a British pop music group. Take That have released four studio albums, two compilation albums, twenty-two singles, and eleven video albums on RCA Records, BMG Records and Polydor Records.

Take That was formed in 1990 by Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange, Mark Owen and Robbie Williams.[1] The band's debut studio album Take That and Party was released in August 1992. It produced seven singles and was certified double platinum in the United Kingdom.[2] The album earned Take That several Smash Hits Awards and a BRIT Award for "Best British Single".[1] Their second album Everything Changes yielded three number one singles and was certified triple platinum.[3] Nobody Else, Take That's third album, was released in May 1995. It produced three number one singles and was certified double platinum.[4] In 1995, Williams left the group to pursue a solo career.[1] In February 1996, the four remaining members announced that they were disbanding.[1] The announcement was followed by a greatest hits album in March 1996.

In 2005, Barlow, Donald, Orange and Owen reunited for concert tour. Following the success of the tour, Take That released Beautiful World in November 2006. The album sold over 1.3 million copies and was the second best selling album in the UK in 2006.[1] It produced two number one singles and earned the group two BRIT Awards for "Best British Single".[5][6]
