Barsuk Records (pronounced "Bar-SOOK") is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington, started and still managed by the members of the band This Busy Monster, Christopher Possanza and Josh Rosenfeld in 1994 to release their band's material. Its logo is a drawing of a dog holding a record in its mouth.

The name of the label comes from the Russian word "Барсук" meaning "badger" (bar-suke). However, the label is not named after a badger, as is noted in the Barsuk Records FAQ, but after Christopher Possanza's dog, a black labrador.

The Long Winters, who contributed the song "The Commander Thinks Aloud" to Future Soundtrack for America, covered "Pet Name" for Hello Radio, and whose song "Pushover" is featured on Podcast 10A, are signed to Barsuk.
