RCA Records is an American record label and one of the most important labels of Sony Music Entertainment. "RCA" stands for "Radio Corporation of America" and is a reference to one of the label's former owners.

The history of the RCA label goes back to 1901. In that year The Victor Talking Machine Company was founded. This company released records on the Victor label. In 1929, The Victor Talking Machine Company was acquired by the Radio Corporation of America. Despite this, the Victor brand continued to be used. Shortly after World War II, the name Victor was changed to RCA Victor . In Europe, the name RCA was not used on records until about 1950.

In 1986, RCA and RCA Victor became the property of the German media company "Bertelsmann". Having been owned by "Sony BMG Music Entertainment" since 2004, the label is now part of "Sony Music Entertainment". The RCA brand is owned by a Swiss company and is used under license by "Sony Music Entertainment".
