Bluebird Records ist ein US-amerikanisches Plattenlabel, ein Tochterunternehmen (Sublabel) von RCA Victor. Bluebird wurde 1932 gegründet, um der American Record Corporation (ARC) im Billigsegment (3 records for a dollar) Konkurrenz zu machen. Die ersten Platten erschienen im Juli 1932. Bluebird war vor allem während der 1930er- und Anfang der 1940er-Jahre im Jazz-, Old-Time-/Country- und Blues-Bereich aktiv. Zudem wurden Aufnahmen von RCA neu aufgelegt. Später wurden unter dem Namen Bluebird Jazz-Aufnahmen und Wiederveröffentlichungen vermarktet, in den 1950er-Jahren auch Schallplatten für Kinder. Schließlich wurde Bluebird von RCA Victor als Jazz-Label wiederbelebt.

The first of these (catalog #s 1800-1809) were 8" records containing dance band selections from and and were released in a single batch in July 1932. Although these retailed for less than half the price of regular discs, the 8" format was unpopular with the public and RCA quickly replaced them with standard 10" discs. Early issues (catalog #s 1820-1853) were also produced for Woolworth's. These records, like their 8" predecessors, bore a black-on-blue color scheme and are quite rare today.

By March 1933 it was clear to RCA executives that Bluebird had mass appeal to Depression-era consumers, and the label underwent a transition from a Woolworth's client label to a fully owned and credited RCA brand. The original label design was retained, but RCA and Victor trademarks were added and a light-blue type on buff-colored paper replaced earlier labels. This label remained in use until September 1937 (1939 in Canada), at which time a short-live
