Country Turtle Records was an independent American record label set up in the 1970s in New York City by Don Kent. The label specialized in early American old time and country music.

Like its sister label Mamlish Records in the blues field, the label was active re-issuing samplers and single artists' albums of prewar recordings, first released as Shellac 78 rpm records. Country Turtle was the first label to release the Dixon Brothers' prewar material on vinyl. The sampler Gambler's Lament consisted of prewar recordings of artists as varied as Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Posey Rorer and the North Carolina Ramblers, Blind Andy, and Rabbit Brown.
