Nickelodeon Records (formerly only known as Nick Records from 2001 to 2010) is the record label for the children's television channel Nickelodeon, which is owned by Paramount Global. The label featured new and emerging young musical artists, "triple threat" singers who would also act and dance on the network's series (with singer Ariana Grande being one of them), and soundtrack compilations based on Nickelodeon TV shows.

Nickelodeon released its first soundtrack album in 1993. The "Nick Records" name was first used in 2001, when Nickelodeon announced a partnership with Jive Records to form a new record label.{{Cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/78954/nickelodeon-forming-label-with-jive-records|title=Nickelodeon Forming Label With Jive Records|website=Billboard}} In September 2004, Nick Records announced a new partner, Bertelsmann Music Group (later relaunched as BMG Rights Management). In 2007, a year before Sony Music acquired BMG’s labels after the end of their merger, Nickelodeon formed a new partnership with Sony to produce original soundtracks and shows.{{Cite web |last=Szalai |first=George |date=2004-10-05 |title=Nickelodeon, BMG Pact For Kids Music |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nickelodeon-bmg-pact-for-kids-music-1427460/ |website=Billboard}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.awn.com/news/sony-music-and-nickelodeon-partner-tv-music-ventures|title=Sony Music and Nickelodeon Partner for TV, Music Ventures|website=Animation World Network}} In October 2022, Republic Records announced a worldwide music deal with Nickelodeon, but these releases do not use the Nickelodeon Records or Nick Records name.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-08 |title=Republic Records: Kids & Family Announces Worldwide Music Deal With Nickelodeon |url=http://www.nickalive.net/2022/10/republic-records-kids-family-announces.html |website=NickALive!}}
