Um...I couldn't say for sure and this discludes fugues found *within* a toccata or other piece as well as fughettas, but at least 155...I *think* about 158 but I couldn't say for certain and like I say that's omitting some which others might include, I hope you don't mind. Um, why? Because...they're awesome :D Really they're just a beautiful form of writing, one which JSB had great ability and affinity for, I mean, um, if you're good at something go for it, right?
I hope this helps and you are well,

∙ 13y agohe wrote aproximatly 1120 pieces. im not exactly sure if they are all fuges; however, that number is not counting all the framents and pieces of songs. this estimate has been made by this book
1990 edition of Wolfgang Schmieder's authoritative Thematisch-systematisches Verzeichnis der Musikalischen Werke von Johann Sebastian Bach
there are still new manuscripts being discovered from time to time, but around 1100-1200 pieces would be a safe assumption since his total works are really unknown.
