Secretly Canadian is an American independent record label based in Bloomington, Indiana.[1] It was started in 1996 by Chris and Ben Swanson, Eric Weddle, and Jonathan Cargill. Their first release was a re-issue of an album by June Panic. Weddle later left and formed his own label, Family Vineyard.

Chris Swanson also runs the Jagjaguwar label along with Darius Van Arman; the two labels had worked closely together before Jagajguwar's offices moved to Bloomington to work alongside Secretly Canadian's.[2] In February, 2007, the partners behind Secretly Canadian and Jagjaguwar, along with Phil Waldorf, former label manager of Misra Records, announced a third sister label, Dead Oceans Records. The three labels share offices and staff in Bloomington, IN; however, they maintain distinct and separate aesthetic visions.

As of 2007 the label had issued nearly 200 releases.[2]
