Poison City Records is an independent record label based in Melbourne, Victoria, founded in 2003. The label opened a physical store in 2008, at 400 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy selling records and skateboards. In mid-2020, the store and label moved from Fitzroy to Preston.[1]

From 2008 to 2017, Poison City ran an annual three-day punk rock music festival called Poison City Weekender, with bands playing at multiple venues throughout Melbourne.[2]
