Roost Records (also known as Royal Roost Records) was a jazz record label established in 1949 by music producer Teddy Reig. The name came from the New York City club which it was associated. Saxophonist Stan Getz, early in his career, was the most celebrated musician to record for the label, though recordings by guitarist Johnny Smith are also highly regarded. Smith was the bestselling artist on the Roost label.
It was acquired by Morris Levy in 1958 and incorporated into Roulette Records.
