Equal Vision Records is an independent record label based in Albany, New York. It was founded in the early 1990s by Ray Cappo, the singer for the punk bands Youth of Today, Shelter, and Better Than a Thousand.

Sublabels and distribution
In July 2009, EVR established a sub-label named Mantralogy, which features bands that "deliver edgy, Krishna-conscious music." In 2012, EVR artist Max Bemis (of Say Anything) created an imprint label named Rory Records, which is distributed by EVR. On June 19, it was announced that Equal Vision Records would form a partnership with Casey Crescenzo of the Dear Hunter, giving him his own imprint label: Cave & Canary Goods. EVR returned its distribution of physical and digital releases in the U.S. to RED Distribution as of January 23, 2012, after many years with Alternative Distribution Alliance. In May 2013, EVR inked a partnership with UNFD to manufacture, promote, and distribute EVR releases in Australia and New Zealand. Prior to this partnership, EVR had shared several artists with UNFD for distribution in both regions, including Say Anything, We Came as Romans, and House vs. Hurricane. Velocity Records was originally established in 2009 as a subsidiary of Rise Records. It was relaunched in 2016 as a partner of Equal Vision Records. In May 16, 2025, Hail the Sun vocalist Donovan Melero announced on social media that his record label, kill iconic records, are in a partnership deal with Equal Vision Records along with the announcement of their new signed artist Dwellings. ==Artists==
