The discography of American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, who released their first album and singles in July 1968,[1] includes 7 studio albums, 5 live albums, 41 compilation albums, and 29 singles. The group, although only active for 4 years, has sold more than 45 million albums and singles in the United States alone,[2] and has charted in multiple countries throughout the world.

Creedence Clearwater Revival never had a Billboard No. 1 hit in the United States.[3] Five of their singles peaked at No. 2. They have the dubious distinction to have the most singles reach the top 10 (nine of them) without ever hitting number 1.[citation needed]
