Derby Records was a short-lived, mid-20th century United States record label. The label's logo featured a Derby hat. First headquartered in New York City, it moved to Los Angeles California shortly before going out of business in 1964.

The label offered selections in various styles of pop music of the era, including Rhythm and Blues and Western swing.

Derby recording artists included singer Mel Carter, saxophonist Freddie Mitchell, singer and session artist Billy Preston, and Van "Piano Man" Walls. Sunny Gale had in 1952 a small hit for Derby with "Wheel of Fortune", which reached # 13 and sold about 50 000 copies.
