Pheromone Recordings is a Canadian independent record label, launched by Kim Cooke in partnership with MapleCore Ltd. in 2008.

Pheromone Recordings is a Toronto-based boutique label featuring a handpicked roster of artists ranging from roots rock to electronic. The eclectic mix of artists, currently entirely Canadian, includes independent acts such as Elisapie Isaac and The Dears as well as established names such as their first signed act The New Odds.

The label has had several notable breakout releases such as Beast's self-titled Beast which was the label's first album to receive a Gold certification award. Aboriginal artist Elisapie Isaac released Travelling Love on Pheromone recordings in 2012. The album garnered much critical acclaim including a Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year which was later rescinded due to winning Aboriginal Album of the Year with her group Taima in 2005. Toronto contemporary classical group Art of Time Ensemble which features a variety of primarily Canadian artists and actors has released two of their albums with Pheromone Recordings. The first Black Flowers in 2009 featuring Sarah Slean, and A Singer Must Die in 2010 featuring Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies. Canadian singer-songwriter Joel Plaskett produced Mo Kenney's self-titled debut as well as the 'Land' portion of Sarah Slean's album Land & Sea.
