{{Short description|none}} {{Use mdy dates|date=October 2021}} thumb|Oldham in 2006 This is a list of recordings by American singer and actor '''Will Oldham''' (a.k.a. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Palace Music, etc.).
== Main discography == The nature of Oldham's work, with constant changes in backing musicians and even the names under which he records, can make for a confusing discography. Below are his releases in as simplified a form as possible.
=== Albums === A few of these albums are credited to another artist alongside Will Oldham but with Oldham providing vocals throughout each of the tracks they clearly belong on a list of Oldham albums.
