'''Org Music''' is an American independent record label based in Los Angeles. The label releases vinyl reissues and new recordings across multiple genres, including jazz, rock, soul, funk, country and hip-hop.

Founded in 2010, Org Music's early releases included vinyl reissues from artists such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Nirvana and Sonic Youth. The label has also issued and partnered on projects with artists including Mike Watt (Minutemen / fIREHOSE / The Stooges), Chuck Dukowski (Black Flag), Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers / Pearl Jam), Tav Falco, and free jazz drummer William Hooker. Org Music has mounted multi-title reissue campaigns for the punk rock bands Bad Brains and Descendents, including alternate “Punk Note” editions with album artwork styled after classic jazz LP designs.

Org Music has partnered with legacy labels and archives such as Black Lion Records, Freedom Records, Sun Records, Brunswick Records, Westbound Records, Delicious Vinyl, and the George H. Buck Jr. (GHB) Jazz Foundation to restore and reissue catalog titles. A significant portion of the label's output is associated with Record Store Day, for which it has released numerous limited-edition titles. Org Music signed a worldwide distribution deal with Secretly Distribution in 2025.
