Universal Records is a record label owned by Universal Music Group and operated as part of the Universal Motown Republic Group. The label became dormant in 2006, due to Universal Motown and Universal Republic Records being restructured, which also funneled the existing artists from Universal Records. In 2025, Universal Records was reactivated.
