Barsuk Records (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell) is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington which was founded in 1998 by Christopher Possanza and Josh Rosenfeld, the members of the band This Busy Monster, to release their band's material.[1] Its logo is a drawing of a dog holding a vinyl record in its mouth.

Barsuk played a key role in shaping the mainstream view of indie rock in its early years, with albums like Nada Surf's Let Go, The Long Winters' When I Pretend to Fall, and Death Cab for Cutie's influential fourth album, Transatlanticism. The label also became a platform for Seattle-based singer-songwriters such as Rocky Votolato, Jesse Sykes, and David Bazan.[2]

The name of the label comes from the Russian word барсук Script error: No such module "IPA"., "badger".[3] However, the label is named after Possanza and Jason Avinger's dog, a black Labrador.[4] The dog can be heard barking in two This Busy Monster tracks: "Song 69" and "Time to Sleep".
