Starr Records was a record label manufactured by the Starr Piano Company of Richmond, Indiana, which was also the parent company of the better known Gennett Records.

The company's first "Starr Records" were vertical cut disc records in the mid 1910s, based on Edison Records standard. They were discontinued in 1917. The Starr label was continued through much of the 1920s in Canada, pressed and distributed by Compo Company Ltd., mostly issuing their sides that were released in the United States on Gennett.

An unrelated Starr Records made records in Australia, which were sold in the Coles chain.
