Fiction Records is a British record label founded by Chris Parry in 1978, owned by Universal Music Group and based in the United Kingdom. It is best known for being the home of The Cure for over 20 years. It was originally a part of Polydor, but in January 2014, Universal restructured Fiction as a standalone label, removing it from Polydor's corporate affiliation.

The label achieved its greatest commercial success with The Cure, achieving its first UK No. 1 album in 1992 with The Cure's Wish; the album's lead single Friday I'm In Love also topped Billboard's Modern Rock chart. Beyond The Cure, Fiction was home to other artists who signed to the publishing company as well as the record label and released a number of acclaimed albums including Eat's Sell Me a God (Fiction/Polydor) in 1989, The God Machine's Scenes from the Second Storey (Fiction/Polydor) in 1993 and Die Warzau's Engine (Fiction/Wax Trax!) in 1995.

After a period of dormancy in the mid-1990s, in January 2004, Joe Munns, Paul Smernicki and Beastman revived Fiction to give Polydor a bit more of a guitar stronghold, as their roster then consisted mostly of pop acts. The first release on the new Fiction was the Snow Patrol single Run, which entered the UK singles chart at No. 5.

Today, the current Fiction stable includes Tame Impala, Steven Wilson, The Mysterines, Death From Above 1979, The Maccabees, Spector, HEALTH, Mini Mansions, Fryars, Kate Boy, Meanwhile, Palace, The Amazons, Another Sky, The Big Moon and Kaiser Chiefs. The label has successfully evolved from its origins as a home for alternative and gothic rock into a diverse roster that spans indie rock, electronic music, and contemporary alternative acts, while maintaining its reputation for supporting innovative and boundary-pushing artists.
