# Porter Wagoner discography

This is a detailed discography for American country music artist Porter Wagoner. In his 1992 biography A Satisfied Mind: The Country Music Life of Porter Wagoner, Steve Eng estimated that Wagoner had released "at best count...more than eighty albums and numberless singles". By that time Wagoner had released eighty-one Billboard-charting songs, including forty-nine songs that reached the Top 20, twenty-nine songs that reached the Top 10, and fifteen songs that reached the Top 5. Wagoner's writing credits by 1992 included "about 175" songs according to Eng.
Wagoner's albums were released over a span of fifty years, starting with A Satisfied Mind in 1957. After going on a hiatus in the 1990s, Wagoner returned to releasing albums in the 2000s, culminating with the 2007 release of Wagonmaster shortly before his death that same year. Wagoner's material was often re-issued through budget albums released under the RCA Camden label.
