Gennett Records was an American record label, founded in Richmond, Indiana, USA by the Starr Piano Company, and released its first records in October 1917.

Gennett is best ed for the early jazz talent recorded on the label, including sessions by Gene Autry.

The Gennett Company was hit severely by the Great Depression in 1930, and massively cut back on record recording and production until it was halted all together in 1934. In 1935 the Starr Piano Company sold some Gennett masters, and the Gennett trademark to Decca Records.
