Fat City Recordings is an independent record label. It emerged in 1998 from the "Fat City Records" shop originally situated in Affleck's Palace in the Northern Quarter, Manchester, but which has now moved onto Oldham Street. The shop was at one time managed by Grand Central Records boss Mark Rae, and later by Martin Brew.

The label has released a number of compilation albums featuring hip hop, funk and electronic music.

Fat City is also involved in the "Friends and Family" club nights and its predecessor "Counter Culture Promotions". These club nights usually take place in "The Roadhouse" in Manchester and "Cargo" in London. The "Friends and Family" nights were formerly put on in conjunction with Grand Central Records until that label ceased operating in 2006.
