The American actor, animator, writer, producer, director, comedian, and singer Seth MacFarlane has released nine studio albums, one extended play, one soundtrack album, and 13 singles (including two as a featured artist). He has also contributed numerous songs to his projects, such as Family Guy, American Dad!, and Ted. In 2005, he served as a producer for the Family Guy soundtrack Live in Vegas, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.

MacFarlane signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records in 2010 and released his debut studio album Music Is Better Than Words in September of the following year. The album received positive reviews and reached 111 on the US Billboard 200 chart; in addition, it received two Grammy nominations for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. In September 2014, MacFarlane released his second studio album, and first Christmas-themed album, Holiday for Swing, which reached 51 on the Billboard 200. MacFarlane released his third studio album, No One Ever Tells You, the following September; the album earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

In 2016, he made a guest appearance on Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway, a studio album by the actress and singer Barbra Streisand; they performed "Pure Imagination" as a duet. A year later, MacFarlane released his fourth studio album, In Full Swing. The album received two nominations at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals. His fifth studio album, Once in a While, was released in 2019.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, MacFarlane and the actress and singer Elizabeth Gillies collaborated on eight songs on an extended playlist entitled Songs from Home. He released his sixth studio album, Great Songs from Stage & Screen in August 2020. Like his previous four albums, he recorded a majority of the songs at Abbey Road Studios, but much of the album's post-production work was done at home due to the pandemic. MacFarlane released his seventh studio album, Blue Skies, in May 2022, and MacFarlane and Gillies released their Christmas album We Wish You the Merriest in November 2023. He released his ninth album, Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, on June 6, 2025.
