Native Records is a British independent record label formed in Sheffield, England.

The label was founded by Kevin Donoghue in 1985, after he left RCA Records and during his time at the Music Factory where he was a sound engineer and record producer.[1][2][3]

In January 1989, Native signed Nine Inch Nails but later released them from their contract when TVT Records offered a better deal.

The label was originally distributed via the Cartel and Red Rhino Records, with Rough Trade distributing in Germany and Radical distributing in Spain. After the collapse of the Cartel in 1989, distribution moved to Polydor Records and subsequently to Pinnacle Records. The label was sold to Cherry Red Records in 2009.


Associated labels include: Ozone Recordings.
