Transgressive Records is an independent record label based in London, founded in 2004. Its founders, Tim Dellow and Toby L, first met at a Bloc Party gig organised by Toby's Rockfeedback website.

The label's debut release was "1am" by the Subways in September 2004, quickly followed by singles from Mystery Jets, the Young Knives and Regina Spektor. Artists on its current roster include Flume, Sophie, Arlo Parks, Alvvays, Julia Jacklin and Damon Albarn.

The company also formed Transgressive Management, representing Johnny Flynn, Marika Hackman, Let's Eat Grandma and Wesley Joseph, alongside Transgressive Publishing, working with Black Country, New Road, Foals, Loyle Carner and more.

In 2021, Transgressive released Arlo Parks debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which was awarded the Mercury Prize.
