Burger Records is an independent record label and record store based out of Fullerton, California. The label was founded in 2007 by Sean Bohrman and Lee Rickard, members of the power pop band Thee Makeout Party. The record/video store co-owned by Sean Bohrman and Brian Flores was opened in 2009.

The label is notable for releasing most of its material on cassette, and among the hundreds of artists released on the label are Brian Jonestown Massacre, Devon Williams, Hunx and His Punx, Bell Gardens, and The Go. According to OC Weekly, the label is known for "its growing catalog of sugary, eccentric power pop and audacious garage rock, extolling a carefree message of love, music and DIY attitude."

The label holds the annual Burgerama music festival in California, featuring dozens of Burger bands.

Founders Sean Bohrman and Lee Rickard became friends in the Late 1990s while attending high school in Anaheim, California.

Avid rock and pop fans, they began collaborating on zines and newsletters before starting to play in bands together. Dubbed "punk pranksters via a song-less, almost-music-less band called The Noise," they afterwards started the power pop band Thee Makeout Party.

At some point they began putting the Burger logo, which Rickard had drawn while bored at work, on all their artistic endeavors. They soon befriended the young lo-fi Fullerton punk band Audacity, joining them on a cross-country tour. Bohrman also earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism from Humboldt State in 2004.
