Big Neck Records is an independent record label founded and operated by Bart Hart. It was started in Buffalo, New York, in 1995, with the release of the first Blowtops and Baseball Furies 7-inch EP records ("Voodoo Alley" and "This Is The World's Greatest Rock & Roll Record", respectively) as an offshoot of The Sanctuary nightclub. Bart opened The Sanctuary in 1995 after abandoning his previous nightclub, Asbury Alley, and it featured much of the same music scene and related bands and performers. Big Neck relocated to Reston, Virginia, where it continues operating today. The label focuses mostly on garage, punk, and rockabilly acts.

Big Neck's roster includes bands like The Blowtops, The Baseball Furies, The Trailerpark Tornados, Lost Sounds, The Tyrades, Concubine Forming, Radio Beats, Tractor Sex Fatality, Violent Lovers Club and The Ponys.
