Duke Street Records was a Canadian independent record label[1] established in 1984 by Andrew Hermant, but the record label ceased operating in 1994.[2] The Universal Music Group took over the label when it halted operations.

The label released albums in a wide variety of genres by artists such as Art Bergmann,[1] The Front, Jane Siberry,[1] FM, Rik Emmett, Willie P. Bennett, Rob McConnell, Scott Merritt,[1] Chalk Circle,[1] Valdy, Manteca,[1] Don Ross, Eye Eye, Neo A4,[3] and Barbara Lynch.[4]

In 1995, Hermant donated his entire archive of Duke Street material to the Music Archives at the National Library of Canada. This 24-year collection includes over 2,100 audio tapes and a 30 cm stack of textual records, including promotional material and photographs.[2]
