Vogue Records was a short lived United States based record label of the 1940s, noted for the artwork pressed into the shellac just below the transparent layer of the playing surface.

The USA Vogue label was in business in 1946 and went out of business the following year, having released 67 double-sided 78 rpm gramophone records. Some of the Vogue issues were re-releases of recordings originally issued by other companies.

The colorful artwork on the records have long made Vogue Records a collector's item.

A different Vogue Records went into business in France in 1947, the same year that the USA Vogue closed shop. They originally specialized in jazz recordings, featuring such artists as Sidney Bechet, Django Rheinhardt, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, and Errol Garner. In the late 1950s Vogue expanded into pop music, recording Petula Clark and other popular singers of the era.

The label's United Kingdom sister label was Pye Nixa Records.

As of 2003, a third Vogue Records is based in Ottawa, Canada.
