Blue Beat Records was a record label that released Jamaican rhythm and blues and ska music in the UK in the early and mid 1960s. It led to the creation of the term bluebeat to describe the music genre associated with the record label. Blue Beat Records was a part of the Melodisc label, which specialised in calypso and mento music. It released around 425 records and is particularly known for Prince Buster's song Al Capone.

Many Blue Beat recordings were played alongside soul music in dance clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester. The music was associated with the mod subculture.
