Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered in New York City's East Village. The discography of Regina Spektor, an American anti-folk musician, consists of five studio albums, two extended plays, one live album, and eleven singles.

Spektor's first two albums were released exclusively in the United States; Soviet Kitsch, Begin to Hope, and Far were released worldwide. The compilation Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers and Other Short Stories, containing songs from Spektor's first three albums, was assembled for the UK market.

11:11 is the debut album by singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. It was self-released on CD and sold at Spektor's early shows. The album is now out of print on CD but is available in online music outlets such as the iTunes Music Store and Amazon MP3. Among the fan community, hard copies of this album have become sought after due to their scarcity. "Love Affair", "Braille", and "Sunshine" were taken from her 1999 demo cassette.

Songs is the second album by singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. The album was recorded in its entirety on Christmas Day of 2001; all songs were recorded in one take. Self-released copies of the album were sold at Spektor's early live shows, but the album is now available for purchase periodically at the independent CD retailer CDBaby.com. This album is now available for purchase at most of her current shows as well.

Soviet Kitsch is the third album by Regina Spektor. The title is drawn from Milan Kundera's expression for the vacuous aesthetics of communism, a theme in his book The Unbearable Lightness of Being. One version of the album was released with a bonus DVD, which included a short promotional film titled The Survival Guide to Soviet Kitsch and the music video for the song "Us". In 2009, the album was included in NME's list of 100 greatest albums of the decade.

Begin to Hope is the fourth album by Russian-American singer-songwriter, Regina Spektor. It was released June 13, 2006. The album debuted at number 70 on the Billboard 200, but due to the popularity of the single "Fidelity", it peaked at number 20 and was labeled a "pace setter" by Billboard. Rolling Stone magazine named it the 21st-best album of 2006. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA for shipments to U.S. retailers of 500,000 units.
The album was nominated for the 2007 Shortlist Music Prize.

Far is the fifth album by American alternative singer-songwriter Regina Spektor, released in Europe through Sire Records on June 22, 2009 and North America on June 23, 2009 The album's first single, "Laughing With", was uploaded to Spektor's MySpace page on May 8 and was released as a digital download on May 18 in the United States and parts of Europe, along with the b-side "Blue Lips". Two viral videos for "Dance Anthem of the 80s" and "Eet" were also released on Spektor's MySpace account. The official music video for "Laughing With" was released on iTunes on May 26, 2009. A special edition of the album was released with two bonus tracks and a DVD, which included four music videos.

Spektor decided to work with multiple producers on the album. She has compared composing an album to taking a class, and as such, she wanted to have "multiple professors". She also felt the multiple producers would allow them not to worry what the single or big hit would be. The most notable producers include David Kahne, who produced her last album Begin to Hope, and Jeff Lynne, former member of Electric Light Orchestra and The Traveling Wilburys. Although Lynne has an expansive musical background, Spektor did not know of his work when she originally met him.
What We Saw from the Cheap Seats is the sixth studio album by Russian-American alternative singer-songwriter Regina Spektor. On November 21, 2011, Spektor posted on her Facebook page that the album had been recorded with Mike Elizondo in Los Angeles during the summer of 2011 and that it is expected to be released on May 29, 2012. The album is a collection of old and new material.

The album's first single, "All the Rowboats", was released for streaming on February 27, 2012, and for digital download the following day. It was featured on a prime spot on the CW's Ringer on March, 13 2012, making her the "Artist Spotlight" of the week.

The album's second single, "Don't Leave Me (Ne me quitte pas)" is a new version of "Ne me quitte pas", a song originally from Spektor's 2002 album Songs. ... (more)
