This is a harder question than you might think. Scholars agree that Shakespeare wrote in whole or in part the 37 plays in the Second Folio, and there is general agreement that he at least partly wrote The Two Noble Kinsmen. There is also evidence that he wrote other plays that have not come down to us, including Cardenio and Love's Labours Won. Finally there are plays which some people think might be by Shakespeare but others do not, like Edward III or The Second Maiden's Tale (which some scholars have suggested might really be Cardenio)
