The discography of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, an American ska punk band formed in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts, consists of eleven studio albums, ten EPs and twenty two singles, among other recordings.

The Bosstones' 1997 release Let's Face It was the most commercially successful album for the band, featuring the hit single "The Impression That I Get", which hit number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Many attribute the surge of ska punk popularity in the late 90s to the single's success. That album earned a gold and platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
