Ri-Fi was an Italian record company and label, active between 1959 and 1982.

The company was founded in Milan by it, who also served as CEO.[1] The company managed to discover and launch many artists, including Iva Zanicchi, Fred Bongusto and I Giganti, as well as to exploit the qualities of others such as Fausto Leali and Michele.[1] Notably, Mina was a Ri-Fi artist between 1963 and 1967, and during this time she got several of her major hits such as "Città vuota", "È l'uomo per me", "Un anno d'amore" and "E se domani".[1] Following the death of Ansoldi in 1979, in a few years the company went on hiatus and its catalogue was subsequently bought by Southern Music.[1]
