BBC Records was a division of the British Broadcasting Corporation founded in the 1960s to exploit the corporation's audio archive for both educational and commercial purposes. The division was also known as BBC Radio Enterprises (1967–1970), BBC Records (1970–1972) and BBC Records & Tapes (1972–1989).

Since the 1990s licensing and marketing of the BBC's recorded output has been the responsibility of BBC Worldwide (formerly BBC Enterprises), which also licenses the use of the BBC logo on commercial recordings.
