Colossus Records was an American record label founded in 1969 by Jerry Ross, who had also founded Heritage Records the year before. Like Heritage, Colossus was distributed by MGM Records.

It released a number of hits by Dutch groups such as Shocking Blue, George Baker Selection and Tee-Set, and by Crystal Mansion. It also released an album in 1970 called DANKS, a male/female duet which featured Stefanianna Christopherson, then best known for her voice work on Here Comes The Grump and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?. The Chicago horn band The Mob released their first album under the guidance of Jerry Ross in 1970.[1]

Colossus Records closed in 1971.
