The discography of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, an American ska punk band formed in 1983 in Boston, Massachusetts, consists of nine studio albums, ten EPs and nineteen singles, among other recordings.

The Bosstones' 1997 release Let's Face It was the most commercially successful album for the band, featuring the hit single "The Impression That I Get", which hit #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Many attribute the surge of ska punk popularity, in the late 90s, to the single's success. That album earned a gold and platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).^[1]
