The discography of the Canadian electronic duo Crystal Castles consists of four studio albums, fourteen music videos, one extended play, seventeen singles, and ten remixes.

Alice Glass (real name Margaret Osborn) and Ethan Kath (real name Claudio Palmieri) first met around 2004.[1] Their first official release as Crystal Castles was an extended play, Alice Practice (2006). After releasing four singles, they released their debut studio album, Crystal Castles (2008). It entered the national charts of France, Ireland, Scotland, and the United Kingdom, and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry. Two years later, they released three singles and another self-titled album (also known as Crystal Castles II or II), which charted in Australia, Ireland, Scotland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Crystal Castles later released a re-recording of that album's "Not in Love" with vocals by Robert Smith, which charted in multiple countries and was certified gold by Music Canada.

In 2012, Crystal Castles released three singles and their third studio album, III, charting in Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Two years later, Glass announced that she was leaving the band,[2] being replaced by Edith Frances the next year.[3] Following the release of six singles, Crystal Castles released their fourth and final studio album, Amnesty (I) (2016), which charted in Belgium, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The band has been inactive since Glass made allegations of abuse against Kath in 2017.[4][5]
