The American rock band My Chemical Romance has released four studio albums, two live albums, three compilation albums, five extended plays, 24 singles, six promotional singles, four video albums and 18 music videos. They have also had 13 original appearances on other albums. As of December 2021, the band had sold 8.7 million album-equivalent units in the United States, 5.6 million of which were from album sales.

The band was formed in September 2001 after the attacks of 9/11. Shortly afterwards in 2002, they released their debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, through Eyeball Records. The album has since sold over 285,000 copies. The band signed with Reprise Records the next year and released its second album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, in 2004. A commercial success, it has sold over three million copies, due in part to the successful singles "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Helena". Their third album, The Black Parade, was released in 2006 and has sold over four million copies. The album's lead single, "Welcome to the Black Parade", became the band's highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 and their only number-one hit on the UK singles chart. Other successful singles included "Famous Last Words", and "Teenagers". Their fourth studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, was released in 2010 and featured the successful singles "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)" and "Sing".

In February 2013, My Chemical Romance released the Conventional Weapons compilation album and box set. One month later, My Chemical Romance announced their break-up. In 2014, they put out a greatest hits album, May Death Never Stop You. It featured the final song they completed prior to their break-up, "Fake Your Death", which was intended for their scrapped fifth album. The band reunited in 2019. In 2022, they released their first single in eight years, "The Foundations of Decay".
