Regal Records was a British record label founded in 1914 as a subsidiary of the UK branch of Columbia Records. From 1932 on it was merged with the British Zonophone label (following the merger of the Gramophone Company and Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI), and became Regal Zonophone.

In the late 1990s, the Regal imprint was revived by EMI for more leftfield acts. Artists on the label include Lily Allen and The Beta Band.
