Discogs (/dɪˈskɒɡz/ disk-OGZ; short for "discographies") is an online database and marketplace for audio recordings, including commercial releases, promotional releases, and bootleg or off-label releases. Database contents are user-generated, and described in The New York Times as "Wikipedia-like", and users can purchase vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, and other music formats from online sellers. Its specialty and innovation is to distinguish the specific releases of music (for example, over 400 different versions of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack).

While the site was originally created with the goal of becoming the largest online database of electronic music, it now includes releases in all genres and on all formats. By 2015, it had a new goal: that of "cataloging every single piece of physical music ever created." As of 2026, its database contains over 19 million user-submitted release listings.
