The discography of the British band the Jam consists of 6 studio albums, 5 live albums, 8 compilation albums, 5 box sets, 6 videos, 3 extended plays, 18 singles, and 3 B-sides. The band, who formed in 1972, didn't debut until five years later in 1977, when they released their debut studio album In the City, which entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 20, and contained the title-track, "In the City". Their second album, This Is the Modern World, was the first to get into the Billboard 200 (US Albums Chart), taking its place at No. 201 while at No. 22 in the UK Albums Chart. Their most successful studio album was their final album The Gift in 1982, which reached No. 1 in the UK and peaked at No. 82 in the US.

The Jam were seen as the centre of mod revival culture during the 1970s to the 1980s, and the lead singer of the band, Paul Weller, was seen as The Modfather. The band separated in 1982, following ten years active, and five years of success. Shortly after the band's break-up, Weller went on to form The Style Council, before embarking on a solo career and releasing his first studio album, which was self-titled, in 1992.
