Xpressway was a record label founded by New Zealand musician Bruce Russell in Dunedin in 1988. Until it ceased in 1993, Xpressway released a variety of New Zealand musicians, primarily on cassette, but its catalogue included several 7-inch singles and one 12-inch EP.

Russell began releasing and distributing cassettes via mail order, to offer a 'lifeboat' for those artists who had been dropped by Flying Nun Records, as Flying Nun moved away from its low-fi roots to focus on artists with more 'commercial potential'.

Artists whose material was released by Xpressway include The Dead C, This Kind of Punishment, Wreck Small Speakers on Expensive Stereos, Alastair Galbraith, Graeme Jefferies, The Terminals, and Sandra Bell.
