The discography of British recording artist Alesha includes nine number one studio albums and 30 number one singles (plus five as a featured artist). She has charted more number one singles (as well as more top 40 hits) than any other artist.

After achieving minor success with hits like "Predictable" (2003) and "Let Me Take You There" (2004), Alesha broke through with the release of her third album Buried Underneath (2005) which spawned the number one singles "Infernal Superstar" and "Close the Door" (with Neyssa). Four years into her career, Alesha repositioned herself as a global pop sensation with her diamond-certified fourth studio album Alesha Is the Queen (2007) and its follow-up The Second Coming (2008), which included chart-toppers "Fashion Kills", "Original Sin" (with Ryan Dawson), "Disciplinary"/"Guerrilla" and Indigo Peak collaboration "Filthy Preacher"/"Shoot to Kill".

Alesha's sixth studio album Bigger Than God (2009) moved towards wholly alternative sounds, becoming Alesha's third consecutive studio album to receive a diamond certification and spawning the number one hits "Apocalypse City", "Bear Dance" and "Delusions of Grandeur" (with Shell Ruin). Alesha continued her success into the new decade with successful singles like "Good Mourning" and "The Last Temptation", the latter achieving a coveted double-platinum certifiation. Alesha released The Martyr in January 2011, boasting her highest first-week sales frame for an album to date; however, the record featured just one number one single, a decline from Alesha's previous efforts.

Alesha returned from hiatus in 2014 with her self-titled eighth studio album Alesha, which shifted 3.3 million copies to become one of the best-selling albums of all time. "Opulence"/"Unbeknownst", a collaboration with Paulo Araujo, returned Alesha to the top of the singles chart, while subsequent release "Number One" sold a massive 800,000 copies within ten weeks. Alesha released her ninth studio album afterhours in 2015, preceded by the mammoth hit "In Love Today" and followed by the number ones "M4M" and "Cruising". "In Love Today" sold over 1 million copies to become Alesha's second double-platinum single. The following year, Alesha topped the charts with her tenth studio album The White Album and its singles: "Petroleum"; "Winter", the Christmas number one; "Outlaw"; "Fire + Jade"; and a remix of "Llorona".

Alesha has also featured on number one singles by Candi, Jean-Luc, JUSTYCE, Paul and Twisted Disco.
