The Subway Organization was an independent music label founded in 1985 in Bristol, by Martin Whitehead.
The label was associated with the Indie Pop movement and the seminal NME cassette tape C86, that included the track It's Up To You by the Shop Assistants, from the label's first release (the group subsequently joined the 53rd & 3rd label). The label also had contacts with other groups including Pop Will Eat Itself but their songs were only released on compilations.
The founder of the label had his own group, The Flatmates.
In 2005 Cherry Red released a CD of 'The Best of The Subway Organization 1986–1989'.
