Luke Records is the record label formed in 1985 by Luther Campbell and David Chackler,[1] former frontman of 2 Live Crew.

The label was originally called Luke Skyywalker Records, however because it was not found to be of fair use, Campbell shortened his pseudonym to Luke (a result of George Lucas' successful lawsuit for Campbell appropriating the Skywalker name).[2]

From 1990 to 1995, the label was distributed by Atlantic Records. The label's catalogue is controlled by Lil' Joe Records.
