 The discography of American post-hardcore band Unwound consists of eight studio albums, three live albums, five EPs, ten singles, three music videos, and eight compilation albums.[1][2]   
The band originally formed in 1988 under the name Giant Henry and recorded an album's worth of material (the album would be released in 2013 as Big Baby[3]) before changing their name to Cygnus X-1 for a short period of time in 1991 before settling on Unwound. The band released a self-titled demo that same year and not long after signed to Kill Rock Stars, who would release a majority of the band's discography, beginning with their debut album Fake Train. A year later in 1994, New Plastic Ideas was released, as well as a split EP with Helmet, Slug, and Hammerhead. While Fake Train was their first album to be released, their real first album, Unwound, recorded in May 1992, wasn't released until 1995, the same year as The Future of What. 1996 saw the release of Repetition and a split with Steel Pole Bath Tub. In 1997, the EP The Light at the End of the Tunnel is a Train was released, and 1998 saw the release of Challenge for a Civilized Society. The band released their first two compilation albums in 1999, Further Listening and A Single History: 1991–1997, and the band's first music video for the song "Lifetime Achievement Award". The only release from 2000 was a split with Versus. 2001 saw the band release their final album Leaves Turn Inside You and a music video for "Radio Gra". The band's final release before disbanding in 2002 was a music video for "Scarlette".  
Since 2013, The Numero Group has been remastering and reissuing the band's music.[3] In 2023, the band announced several reunion shows[4] and has stayed active since, but it has yet to release new music.
