East Side Digital, often abbreviated to ESD, is an independent record label based in Minneapolis, MN. ESD was one of the first distributors of Compact Discs in the US in the early 1980s. ESD pressed early CD copies of They Might Be Giants' debut album and the Don't Let's Start 3" EP, prior to the pressings of those releases on the Bar/None and Restless labels.

ESD's repertoire also included artists such as The Residents (and collaborator Snakefinger) and pioneer electronic musician Wendy Carlos.
