Homespun Records is an American independent record label started in 1967 by Patrick Cassidy. It began in Alliance, Ohio for his band and friends, and later moved to Syracuse, New York, then Columbus, Ohio. In 1995 the label reorganized in Las Vegas, Nevada, and began recording and remixing older material for new releases.

Today, Homespun operates mainly as a web-only label, selling and distributing music online through Amazon, iTunes, and internet radio. It also runs the Little Known Music Internet Radio station to promote its artists.
