The discography of Chinese and Hong Kong singer-songwriter G.E.M. (simplified Chinese: 邓紫棋; traditional Chinese: 鄧紫棋) consists of six studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album, five extended play, and twenty-six singles. She made her debut under Hummingbird Music with the Cantonese extended play G.E.M. in October 2008, which topped the Hong Kong album chart and sold over 100,000 copies. It featured the single "Where Did U Go", which was re-recorded in Mandarin as "Xie Bu Wan De Wen Rou" the following year.
Her first studio album, 18..., was released in October 2009 to commercial success, and spawned singles such as "A.I.N.Y" and "All About U". My Secret, released in October 2010, and Xposed, released in June 2012, both reached number one on the Hong Kong album chart. Xposed was the highest-selling Mandarin album of the year and featured the hit single "Bubble", which experienced a resurgence in popularity after she performed the song on I Am a Singer 2 in January 2014. Later that year, G.E.M. released a cover of Beyond's 1988 song "Like You", prompted by popular demand following her performance of the song on the same show.
G.E.M. released her first compilation album The Best of 2008–2012 in 2013, which peaked at number one on the Sino Chart in China and number two in Hong Kong. Her subsequent records, Heartbeat (2015) and 25 Looks (2016) were also named the highest-selling Mandarin album of the year at the IFPI Hong Kong Record Sales Awards. Heartbeat featured six singles, including the titular single "Heartbeat", "Goodbye", and "Away". Her 2016 single "Light Years Away" reached number one on the Billboard Radio China Top 10 chart and became the most-viewed music video by a Chinese artist on YouTube.
The 2018 singles "Tik Tok" and "Woke," part of her Fairytale EP trilogy, both went on to top the Billboard Radio China chart. The trilogy's songs were later compiled into the album Happily Ever After, which was released in May 2019 as her final record under Hummingbird. Her sixth album City Zoo, was released in December 2019 under G.E.M.'s self-founded agency G Nation. It sold over 200,000 copies in China and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association Singapore (RIAS) for surpassing sales of 5,000 units. Her seventh studio album was released in two languages: in Mandarin as Revelation (2022) and in Spanish as Revelación (2023).
