Star Industries is an alcoholic beverage producer and importer founded in Sunnyside, Queens, New York in 1934. It is today based in Syosset, New York and offers an extensive line of beverage products, including vodka, gin, rum, cachaça, wine, liqueurs, and alcopop.

Star's best known product is likely Georgi vodka, heavily advertised in the New York metropolitan region. Georgi's logo uses the Cyrillic letter Я in place of an R, an example of faux Cyrillic.

In 2003, Star Industries sued Bacardi and Anheuser-Busch over the use of a circular "O" on Bacardi's "Bacardi O" alcopop. Judge Harold Baer, Jr. of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected Star's claims.
