This article details the discography of Petra. Petra is a music group formed in 1972, and regarded as a pioneer of the Christian rock and contemporary Christian music genres. Though they disbanded formally in 2005, incarnations of Petra have played reunion shows in the years since and released an album in fall 2010. The band released 24 albums (including two live albums, and two Spanish albums) during their 33 years of career starting with their first release in 1974 and finishing with their last album in 2005.

Petra recorded several songs for multi-artist compilation albums that are not available on any of the band's own albums. The band also has songs that were performed only in concert or never recorded for an album.

This song has recently been recorded by the band GHF (God Has Forgiven)on their album Honestly Live. GHF consists of the original Petra lineup minus Bob Hartman: Greg Hough on guitars and vocals, Bill Glover on drums and vocals, and John DeGroff on bass and vocals.

GHF also played two "reunion" shows with Bob Hartman during Petra's farewell tour.

There are several official and unofficial compilation albums of Petra. These are the official ones. In addition to this list, there are youth choir collections (sheet music for use by churches) which include studio recordings of professional singers and musicians performing those versions.

There are several solo projects by members of Petra, namely those of Greg X. Volz (lead vocals, 1977–1985), John Lawry (keyboards & vocals, 1985–1995), and John Schlitt (lead vocals, 1986–2005, 2010–present). John Elefante, co-producer of Petra, also brought out a few albums. Both he and his brother Dino, co-producer of Petra, founded the group Mastedon and have produced several other bands together.

Also released in March 2007 was a duet project by John Schlitt and Bob Hartman entitled Vertical Expressions, under the band name II Guys From Petra.
