Salsoul Records is a New York City based record label founded by Joe Cayre, Ken Cayre, and Stanley Cayre. From 1974 to 1985, Salsoul released about 300 disco 12-inch singles, and a string of albums. Instant Funk, Loleatta Holloway, Carol Williams, Jocelyn Brown, Double Exposure, First Choice, Joe Bataan, the Salsoul Orchestra (led by Vincent Montana Jr.), Inner Life, Skyy, and Charo were at one time part of their roster.

Salsoul released the first commercially available 12-inch single, Double Exposure's Ten Percent in 1976. Salsoul Records also manufactured and distributed Gold Mind Records. Because of the resurgent interest prompted by "Ride on Time" by Italo-house outfit Black Box, the label's catalogue has been digitally remastered. It is notably more popular in Europe and the United Kingdom than in the United States.

Similar labels central to the New York music dance scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s include Prelude Records and West End Records.
