Perfect Records was a United States based record label of the 1920s and 1930s. It was a subsidiary of Pathé Records, producing standard lateral cut 78 rpm disc records for the US market.

Perfect records were pressed in red-brown shellac as opposed to the more common black shellac of the era. Audio fidelity was about average for the era, but being a cheap label, the records tend to wear easily.

Artists who recorded on Perfect included Cliff "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, Annette Hanshaw, Willard Robison, Cab Calloway, Gene Autry, Vernon Dalhart, Lee Morse, Boyd Senter, Al Bernard, Tito Schipa, and Morton Downey.

Perfect Records was part of the merger that created ARC (see there).
