rooArt was an Australian independent record label in the 1990s, founded by INXS's then-manager, Chris Murphy. The label's roster included several well-known Australian bands and artists such as Crow, Ratcat, Screaming Jets, You Am I, Wendy Matthews, The Hummingbirds, and Amanda Brown. Other bands which made early or first releases on the rooArt label included The Lab, The Fauves and Custard. rooArt released a series of compilation albums of new or then-unsigned acts, called "Young Blood".

Country artist Shanley Del (of the trio Saunders, Kane and Del) had some releases on rooArt, as did Country band The Wheel.

The label had a sub-branch called Ra Records, whose focus was on alternative rock; You Am I, Augie March, The Mark Of Cain and Buffalo Tom were signed to this. It also had a section called rooArt Jazz, which released an album by Free Spirits in 1990.

rooArt is now defunct.
