Broken Bow Records (BBR) is an American independent record label based in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in July 1999 by Benny Brown,[1] the label specializes in country music. The label's general manager is Jon Loba.

Craig Morgan produced the first number-one single for the label with his 2005 hit "That's What I Love About Sunday".[2] Thompson Square had a number-one hit on the label in early 2011 with "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not". Jason Aldean has produced the most number-one hits on the label, with twenty-one in total.

In 2009, Broken Bow Records launched a sister label, Stoney Creek Records. Three years later, Broken Bow partnered with RED Distribution to form Red Bow Records, whose first signees are Joe Nichols and Rachel Farley.[3] In August 2015, Broken Bow launched another imprint label, Wheelhouse Records, with Trace Adkins and Granger Smith the first artists signed to it.[4]

Broken Bow was acquired by BMG Rights Management in February 2017.[5] In July 2018, BMG Nashville folded their Red bow Label into the Broken Bow Music group leaving BMG with three core labels.
