Doghouse Records is a United States-based record label operating out of New York City. Established in 1987 by Dirk Hemsath in Toledo, Ohio, the label was originally created to distribute recordings from his hardcore group Majority of One. At its inception, Doghouse concentrated on genres such as midwest emo and melodic hardcore, before broadening its scope to encompass artists within punk rock, pop punk, indie rock, and alternative rock.

Initially, distribution was handled by Lumberjack Distribution, which was also owned by Hemsath. Following his acquisition of Mordam, Doghouse became integrated into the Lumberjack Mordam Music Group. In 2004, LMMG entered into a distribution partnership with WEA, effective from January 2005. This deal featured an "upstream" provision enabling certain Doghouse artists to progress onto Warner’s major label roster, thereby affiliating Doghouse with Warner. Later that year, the label moved its headquarters to New York City.

In 2005, Doghouse Records issued a tribute album dedicated to Bob Dylan, showcasing contributions from its signed acts alongside musicians such as P.O.S and Sparta’s vocalist Jim Ward.
