The discography of American alternative rock band The Breeders consists of five studio albums, one live album, three extended plays, ten singles and twelve music videos. Kim Deal, then-bassist of American alternative rock band the Pixies, formed The Breeders as a side-project with Tanya Donelly, guitarist of American alternative rock band Throwing Muses.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-breeders-mn0000620495 |title=The Breeders |work=AllMusic |access-date=October 31, 2012 |author=Erlewine, Stephen Thomas |authorlink=Stephen Thomas Erlewine}}</ref> After recording a demo tape, The Breeders signed to the English independent record label 4AD in 1989. Their debut studio album ''Pod'' was released in May 1990, but was not commercially successful.<ref>{{cite book |title=Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies |author1=Frank, Josh |author2=Ganz, Caryn |publisher=Virgin Books |year=2005 |isbn=0-312-34007-9 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/foolworldoralhis00fran/page/106 106–108] |title-link=Fool the World: The Oral History of a Band Called Pixies }}</ref> After the revival of the Pixies and Throwing Muses in 1990, The Breeders became mostly inactive until the Pixies' breakup in 1993. With a new lineup, The Breeders released their ''Safari'' EP in 1992, followed by their second studio album ''Last Splash'' in 1993. ''Last Splash'' was The Breeders' most successful album; it peaked at number 33 on the United States ''Billboard'' 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994.<ref name="US-albums" /><ref name="RIAA" /> The album spawned the band's most successful single, "Cannonball". The single peaked at number 44 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and at number two on the ''Billboard'' Alternative Songs chart.<ref name="US-singles" /><ref name="US-Alternative-singles" />

Following the release of the EP ''Head to Toe'', The Breeders once again became inactive until 2002, when they released their third studio album, ''Title TK''. It failed to match the previous success of ''Last Splash'', and in 2004 the band were dropped from Elektra Records in the United States.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/thebreeders/articles/story/6085957/warner_to_ax_eighty_artists |title=Warner to Ax Eighty Artists |magazine=Rolling Stone |date=June 3, 2004 |access-date=September 15, 2007 |author=Eliscu, Jenny |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071123133049/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/thebreeders/articles/story/6085957/warner_to_ax_eighty_artists |archive-date=November 23, 2007 }}</ref> ''Mountain Battles'', the band's fourth studio album, was released on April 7, 2008.
