The discography of English singer Adam Faith consists of seven studio albums, one live album, 20 compilation albums, 16 extended plays, and 42 singles. Faith also performed songs on the soundtrack for the film Beat Girl, and the cast recordings for the musical Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be and the television series Budgie, all in which Faith also starred. Faith achieved notable success in the UK, starting in 1959 with his first number-one single "What Do You Want?", before having a further ten top-singles during the 1960s. After the mid-1960s, his success waned, though he achieved his final charting single in 1994 with a cover of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You".
